About this map

Egli Ridge dominates the western landscape of this Harney County high-desert terrain, where water management defines the footprint of human activity. The map reveals an intricate network of small-scale irrigation and livestock watering points, from the Old Peterson Ranch near the center of the sheet to numerous catchments like Horseshoe Bar Reservoir, Peterson Reservoir, and Shroder Reservoir. These features, along with names like Big Tank and Big Stick Spring, reflect the vital importance of water rights and ranching infrastructure in the arid Oregon interior during the late 1970s.
