About this map

Malhuer National Forest lands dominate the northern reaches of this high-desert landscape in Harney County. The terrain is defined by the prominent Devine Ridge and the southern rise of Sand Hill, where a network of ephemeral drainages and vital water sources like Widow Spring, Cherry Spring, and Devine Ridge Spring trace the topography. The eastern section is marked by the distinct drainage of Armstrong Canyon, which feeds into the Armstrong Canyon Reservoir, a key hydrological feature for local water management.

A sparse network of roads, including Substation RD and Prather Creek RD, provides access to the lower elevations, while North Harney LN skirts the southern edge of the canyonlands. The map documents a landscape primarily shaped by natural landforms and the essential infrastructure of the American West, where named canyons like Tudor Canyon and seasonal flows such as Prater Cr and Soldier Cr reveal the character of this high-altitude region.
