2017 Map of Fish Lake

About this map

Whorehouse Meadow and Jackman Park lie at the heart of this high-elevation landscape in Harney County, where the 2017 terrain is defined by glacial carvings and steep drainage basins. The map illustrates a network of alpine water bodies including Fish Lake, Lily Lake, and the secluded Honeymoon Lake. Water management and natural flow are central to the area's character, with the Little Blitzen River cutting through the center and Big Indian Cr draining the southern slopes. Steens Mountain Rd provides the primary access across these ridges, passing near Cold Spring Canyon. This modern survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the precise hydrological and topographic features of a region where high-altitude meadows and permanent lakes remain the primary landmarks, largely unchanged by dense settlement or industry.
