2017 Map of Coleman Mountain

About this map

The Stinkingwater Mountains dominate this high-desert portion of Harney County, Oregon, providing a detailed look at a landscape defined by significant elevation changes and seasonal water sources. The map reveals a complex topography of volcanic ridges and broad basins, including Griffin Basin and the Stinkingwater Basin. Named features like Jones and Ausmus Flat and Indian Garden suggest a history of localized land use and historical landmarks in an area where water is the primary driver of placement. High points such as Coleman Mountain, Bald Mtn, and the distinctive Buzzard Ridge overlook a network of intermittent drainages like Stinkingwater Cr and Little Crane Cr. This survey is particularly useful for identifying specific named springs, such as Mountain Ash Springs and Bootleg Spring, which are critical identifiers for navigating this arid terrain.
