About this map

Horseshoe Rim and the seasonal drainages of Harney County define this high-desert landscape in southeastern Oregon. The drainage of Juniper Cr moves through the terrain toward Dry Valley, reflecting the region's complex hydrology where water is a precious and intermittent resource. The namesake Corn Lake sits in the northeast, a focal point in a territory largely marked by the vertical relief of Macs Draw and the volcanic-influenced geology typical of the Oregon outback.

Transportation through this high country relies on a network of unpaved forest and range routes, including the descriptively named Nasty Flat Rd and several National Forest Development roads like Nat For Dev Rd 6185. These routes provide essential access for land management and ranching across the township and range divisions, connecting the higher elevations of the rim to the lower valley floors.
