2024 Map of Balls Lake

USGS Topo · Published 2024

About this map

Balls Lake and the dramatic basalt-stepped Orejana Rim characterize this high-desert reach of Harney County. The landscape is a complex network of seasonal water management and natural drainage, where catchments like Pickett Spring Reservoir, North Loggerhead Reservoir, and Terry Reservoir supported the region's historic ranching operations. The presence of the Foster Lake CCC Rd points to the legacy of the Civilian Conservation Corps in shaping the infrastructure of these remote Oregon rangelands during the mid-20th century. Rugged canyons, including Augustine Canyon and Rose Brier Canyon, cut through the terrain, while named features such as Cabin Waterhole and Lake in the Brush identify critical water points in a territory defined by its aridity. The area’s topographic relief is marked by The Basin and Open Valley, illustrating the varied geological formations east of the Steens Mountain region.
