About this map

Acty Mtn and Bald Mtn anchor this high-desert landscape in southeastern Oregon, where water management is the primary marker of human presence. The terrain is defined by a network of isolated catchments and springs essential for livestock and local ecology, including Stallion Waterhole, Snip Waterhole, and Halfway Reservoir. These features, along with Acty Spring, represent the vital infrastructure of the ranching frontier in Harney County.

Transportation through this high-elevation area is limited to rugged tracks such as Buckaroo Pass Rd and Ackley Camp Rd, which navigate the rises of the Sage Hen Hills and the volcanic expanse known as Hawks Walksy. The placement of Dutch Waterhole and Rastus Waterhole indicates a landscape partitioned for grazing, where every named seep and reservoir serves as a critical landmark for navigation and land use.
