About this map

The arid high desert of Harney County, Oregon, is defined here by a network of essential water sources and seasonal camps. This 2011 survey illustrates a landscape where life centers on managed water, featuring numerous reservoirs and waterholes including Knob Reservoir, Gamble Reservoir, and Wagon Reservoir. The presence of Bacon Camp Waterhole and North Desert Waterhole suggests the historical and continued importance of this area for livestock ranging and desert transit.

Settlement is sparse, represented by Bacon Camp and Lower Bacon Camp, which likely serve as seasonal hubs for those navigating the wide-open terrain between Corporation Rim and Three Story Rim. Notable landmarks like Little Steamboat Point and the low-lying Red Bank Lakes help orient travelers along the dirt tracks, such as Nasty Flat Rd, that crisscross this remote stretch of the Oregon interior.
