The Stinkingwater Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Oregon's Harney County, illustrating a complex terrain of basins and ridges. This 2014 survey reveals an area defined by its named flats and springs, such as the curiously named Hole in the Ground and Jones and Ausmus Flat. The presence of Mountain Ash Springs and Red Spring indicates the vital water sources that have supported ranching and transit through this part of the Great Basin region. From the elevations of Coleman Mountain and Bald Mountain to the depression of Stinkingwater Basin, the map details a land of sharp relief. Historic land use is suggested by features like Indian Garden and the Rock Island formation, while drainage patterns are traced through Stinkingwater Cr and Coleman Cr.
