About this map

Corporation Rim and Three Story Rim dominate this high-desert landscape in Harney County, where the topography is defined by sharp escarpments and intermittent water sources. This 2014 survey illustrates the critical role of water management in an arid environment, documenting numerous localized catchments such as Bacon Camp Waterhole, Knob Reservoir, and Wagon Reservoir. These features, along with the Red Bank Lakes, suggest a land used primarily for livestock grazing and seasonal passage.

Remote access is maintained through routes like Nasty Flat Rd and Mule Spring Rd, which skirt the edges of significant terrain breaks like Little Steamboat Point. The southeastern corner of the map touches the Warner Valley, while the western heights are marked by Black Cap. The presence of Corporation Lake near the rim provides a clear example of the natural and man-made basins that support life in this corner of the Great Basin.
