2011 Map of Hardin Ranch

About this map

Hardin Ranch anchors this high-desert landscape in Crook County, where water management is the primary architect of the land's utility. The 2011 survey reveals an intricate network of specialized water features, from the curiously named Porkchop Lake and Soda Lake to man-made improvements like Thumbtack Reservoir and the Old Lakebed Waterhole. These features, along with Eowyn Reservoir and Ryegrass Reservoir, illustrate the modern ranching infrastructure required to sustain life on the arid plains east of the Cascades.
