Dry Lake Reservoir and Barton Lake anchor this 2011 topgraphic survey of Harney County, illustrating the hydraulic infrastructure essential to Oregon's high desert ranching economy. The map centers on the Barton Ranch and its associated Barton Lake Ranch Airstrip, highlighting the reliance on private aviation in this sparsely populated basin. The landscape is defined by the management of intermittent water sources, shown through the Highline Ditch, Feed Canal, and Riddle Creek. A distinct lack of dense settlement reveals a region dedicated to livestock and resource management, with Lava Beds Rd serving as a primary transit line through the sagebrush-dominated terrain. To the southwest, White Lake marks another focal point of the area's basin-and-range hydrology.
