About this map

The Silvies River winds through the high desert of Harney County, carving a narrow valley through a landscape defined by seasonal drainages and cattle country. This 1990 provisional survey documents a network of water management features essential to ranching in the Oregon interior, including the Skull Creek Reservoir, Green Flat Reservoir, and Shoeffer Reservoir. These man-made catchments, paired with natural sources like Cherry Spring, illustrate the careful orchestration of water in an arid environment.
