2017 Map of Corporation Rim

About this map

Corporation Rim dominates this high desert landscape in Harney County, defining a sharp escarpment that overlooks the western edge of the Warner Valley. This 2017 survey illustrates the complex water management required in such an arid environment, where isolated catchments like Corporation Lake, Knob Reservoir, and Wagon Reservoir serve as vital resources. The terrain is marked by distinctive geological formations including the Three Story Rim and the prominence of Black Cap. Stock water infrastructure is evident through named features like the Bacon Camp Waterhole and North Desert Waterhole, connected by a network of forest development roads such as Nat For Dev Rd 6155. These labels suggest a landscape shaped by ranching interests and seasonal grazing within the Great Basin's drainage patterns.
