About this map

Bartlett Mountain rises over a high desert landscape in Harney County, where water resources define the patterns of ranching and movement. The presence of the O'Toole Ranch and Lamb Ranch illustrates the enduring cattle-ranching heritage of this region, supported by numerous springs and small reservoirs. The hydrology of the area is centered around the north-south flow of Stinkingwater Creek and its tributaries, including Little Stinkingwater Creek and McMullen Creek.

Storage of seasonal runoff is managed through infrastructure like the North Beede Reservoir, South Beede Reservoir, and Plateau Reservoir, which provide vital water in the arid terrain. For those tracing the geography of the Oregon interior, the map shows the winding route of Stinkingwater Creek Rd and localized landmarks such as Connolly Basin and Borderline Spring, reflecting the sparse but purposeful development of this high-plateau environment.
