2011 Map of Capehart Lake

About this map

Capehart Lake and the surrounding high desert terrain define this corner of Harney County, characterized by ephemeral water bodies and prominent landforms. The landscape is marked by the elevated Juniper Ridge to the north and the distinct Coyote Rim toward the east. This 2011 survey documents a sparsely populated area where the primary human footprint is found in the path of Squaw Butte Rd as it cuts diagonally across the western section of the map. Smaller features like Blowhole Lake highlight the unique hydrography of the region, where water sources are vital landmarks for those navigating or managing this remote stretch of the Oregon interior.
