About this map

Steens Mountain dominates this high-elevation landscape in Harney County, where the terrain transitions through dramatic relief from Bald Mtn down to the distinct alluvial features of Puhi-Pane Na-De Flat. The map documents a critical network of water sources essential to this arid region, including Comegys Lake and Dollar Lake. The distribution of family-named water sources like Ross Dollarhide Springs, Bill Gordon Spring, and Courtwrights Spring suggests a history of livestock grazing and early range management.

Drainages such as Coyote Creek, Stonehouse Creek, and Adehuudi Creek carve through the topography, leading toward the deep incisions of Stonehouse Canyon. The presence of the Fields-Denio Rd in the southeastern corner provides the primary modern corridor through this remote basin and range territory, while various spring sites like Charles Kuhl Spring mark the few reliable points of hydration across the high desert floor.
