Barton Lake and the volcanic landscape of Diamond Craters define this high desert portion of Harney County. The map details a complex water management system essential for ranching in this arid environment, featuring the Highline Ditch, Feed Canal, and the Dry Lake Reservoir. These man-made features interact with natural drainages like Riddle Cr to support local agricultural operations. The inclusion of the Barton Lake Ranch Airport suggests the importance of aerial access for large-scale land management in this isolated region. Topographic contours illustrate the unique geological formations of the crater area, while a network of rural routes including Diamond Loop Rd and Diamond Craters Rd provide the primary infrastructure through the basin.
