About this map

Water management in the high desert of Harney County defines this 1971 landscape, where small-scale infrastructure supports livestock in a land of canyons and dry basins. The topography is dominated by dramatic depressions and rimrock, notably The Basin and the steep Orejana Rim, which overlooks Orejano Can. Remote human presence is marked by isolated landmarks like Denis Cabin and the Foot of the Trail Corral, indicating the area's history as rangeland.
