2023 Map of Capehart Lake

About this map

Juniper Ridge dominates the northern landscape of this Harney County terrain, where the high desert topography is defined by subtle elevation shifts and scattered vegetation. The map reveals a remote environment where water is a critical resource, evidenced by the presence of Yellowstone Waterhole in the southwestern quadrant. Access through this interior region of Oregon is largely facilitated by primitive routes like Placidia Butte Rd, which cuts across the basin and range landforms. This 2023 data from the U.S. Geological Survey and BLM illustrates the modern land management of the high desert, providing researchers and land historians with a precise record of current drainage patterns and the established township and range grid across these remote public lands.
