About this map

Stinkingwater Mountains and their surrounding high-desert basins define this portion of Harney County, Oregon. This modern survey illustrates a landscape of complex drainage and distinct landforms, where seasonal water sources like Ash Springs and Bootleg Spring were likely vital markers for early travelers and ranchers. The map reveals several family-named landmarks and historical sites, including Jones and Ausmus Flat and the evocative Indian Garden.

Surface water is concentrated in several prominent creeks, most notably Stinkingwater Creek, Griffin Creek, and Coleman Creek. The topography is marked by significant elevation changes, from the depths of Hole in the Ground to the heights of Buzzard Ridge and Bald Mtn. These features, alongside isolated landforms like Long Island and Rock Island situated within dry basins, provide a detailed look at the geographic character of this interior Oregon territory.
