2023 Map of Fields Basin

About this map

Steens Mountain Wilderness occupies the northeastern corner of this high desert landscape, where the terrain transitions toward the Pueblo Mountains in the south. The area is defined by a sophisticated system of water management features, including Eleven Horse Reservoir, Big Basin Reservoir, and Sidehill Reservoir, which suggest a long-standing reliance on collected runoff for ranching or land management in this arid environment. Natural water sources like Bradley Lake and Antelope Lake punctuate the basin floor near the towering Catlow Rim.
