About this map

Bear Canyon Butte and Emigrant Butte anchor this high-desert landscape within the remote boundary lands of Harney County. The map documents the overlap of the Ochoco National Forest and Malheur National Forest, where a complex network of ephemeral drainages and named springs sustains the local environment. Water features like Dipping Vat Spring, Lost Guard Spring, and Garrett Basin Spring suggest a history of seasonal range management and livestock grazing. The terrain is defined by deep cuts such as Cow Hollow and Mitch Canyon, while the hydrology is shaped by the winding courses of Emigrant Creek and Buckboard Creek. This modern survey records the critical access points provided by Nat For Dev Rd 41, serving as an essential reference for understanding the hydraulic and topographic layout of these protected public lands.
