About this map

Steens Mountain Rd winds through this high-elevation landscape in Harney County, providing the primary access to a series of glacial lakes and alpine meadows. The survey documents a drainage network defined by the Little Blitzen River and several significant tributaries, including Big Indian Cr and Little Indian Cr, which carve deep into the plateau.

Historically used for grazing and recreation, the area is punctuated by named features such as the curiously titled Whorehouse Meadow and Jackman Park. Clusters of small water bodies like Fish Lake, Honeymoon Lake, and Lost Lake are concentrated in the northeastern section of the quadrangle. The terrain transitions from the steep walls of Cold Spring Canyon to the open flats near Pate Lake, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Steens Mountain region.
