2021 Map of Bog Hot Springs

About this map

Bog Hot Springs and the surrounding high desert terrain characterize this modern look at the borderlands where Nevada and Oregon meet. The landscape is defined by its thermal features and water management, including Warm Springs, Cold Spring, and the Bog Hot Reservoir. These water sources are vital in the arid Bog Hot Valley, a geography carved by Thousand Cr and Rincon Cr. The topography transitions from the low-lying valley floor to prominent elevations like Big Spring Table and Railroad Point. The map also captures the administrative boundary between Harney County and Humboldt County, as well as the lonely stretch of Oregon End Table Rd traversing the northern edge of the quadrangle. This detailed survey documents the hydrological and geological character of a remote basin system at the start of the 2020s.
