About this map

Hart Mountain Nat Antelope Refuge dominates the eastern high ground of this 1967 survey, where steep escarpments drop sharply into the Warner Valley. This region of south-central Oregon is defined by the hydrologic connection of the Warner Lakes, a string of shallow basins including Hart Lake and Crump Lake. These water bodies are joined by a slender passage known as The Narrows, illustrating the fragile water levels of this high-desert basin.

The landscape is marked by extreme verticality, from the shoreline marshes and Alkali Flat to the high reaches of Hart Mountain. Evidence of the area's thermal activity is found at the Hot Springs near the mouth of Fisher Canyon. Geologic and recreational interests are further highlighted by the presence of Fish Creek and various Springs, reached only by a network of Jeep Trails and Pack Trails that emphasize the area's isolation during the late 1960s.
