1992 Map of Egypt Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1997

About this map

Och Oco National Forest defines this high-desert landscape in Harney County, dominated by a complex network of canyons and upland ridges. The mapping reflects a region where water management is paramount for land use, evidenced by numerous named catchment features like Blue Bucket Reservoir, Dead Bull Reservoir, and the Bald Butte Waterhole. The rugged topography is etched with deep drainages including Egypt Canyon and Miller Canyon, while subterranean interests are noted at the Ice Cave. This 1990s revision by the Forest Service highlights the infrastructure of the Snow Mountain Ranger District, showing how Snow Mountain Rd and various forest tracks navigate the steep transition between Badger Ridge and Sundown Ridge. The distribution of springs such as Badger Spring suggests the vital historical importance of specific water points for livestock and forest management.
