About this map

Wildhorse Valley and the expansive basin of Alvord Lake define this high-desert reach of Harney County, Oregon. The landscape is marked by isolated outposts of ranching history, including the Penland Ranch, Serrano Point Ranch, and the Reallis Homestead. These settlements are linked by the Fields-Denio Rd and Wild Horse Rd, which traverse a terrain shaped by seasonal watercourses like Andrews Creek and East Branch Wildhorse Creek.

Remote infrastructure is sparse, yet critical for this arid environment, featuring the Wildhorse Valley Airport and several vital water sources such as Serrano Spring and Dixon Spring. The settlement of Andrews and the nearby Andrews Cemetery serve as the primary local landmarks, while the Kueny Ditch illustrates the early human effort to manage water across the sagebrush flats below Serrano Point.
