About this map

Bartlett Mtn and the high ridges of eastern Harney County define this landscape of seasonal drainages and isolated springs. The map documents a critical water-dependent environment where features like Muddy Water Spring, O'Toole Spring, and Connolly Basin Spring provide rare focal points for local history and ranching. The presence of South Beede Reservoir and Plateau Reservoir suggests managed water resources in an arid upland, connected by the rugged track of Stinkingwater Creek Rd.

The hydrography of the region is characterized by the branching systems of Stinkingwater Creek and its tributaries, including McMullen Creek and Newell Creek. To the south, Connolly Basin forms a distinct topographic depression. This data, compiled from recent imagery and the National Hydrography Dataset, serves as a precise record of the upland grazing lands and the vital water sources that have sustained the region's remote homesteads and operations.
