About this map

Flybee Lake and its surrounding high-desert basins define this portion of Harney County, illustrating a landscape where seasonal water sources are vital to the local geography. The map documents several ephemeral water bodies and catchments, such as Deep Canyon Lake and the numerically designated Open Valley Waterhole Number Three, which are essential features in this arid region of Eastern Oregon.

Topographically, the area is characterized by the broad depressions of Open Valley and Little Valley, contrasted by the sharp relief of Devils Canyon. The scarcity of permanent settlements is reflected in the prevalence of named natural landmarks and waterholes rather than towns or infrastructure, highlighting the land's primary use for open-range grazing and wildlife habitat near Flynn Lake and Buzzard Lake.
