About this map

Old Horton Mill and the surrounding high-desert hydrology define this section of Harney County, Oregon. The landscape is characterized by an extensive system of drainages including Cricket Creek and Skull Creek, which feed a dense network of upland water catchments such as Dry Gulch Reservoir, Panel-Spring Reservoir, and West Bassout Reservoir. These features, along with Rock Creek Dam, highlight the historical importance of water management for local ranching and land use in this arid region.

Transportation routes like Horton Mill Rd, Donelly Rd, and Elliott Cutoff Rd provide a clear view of the logging and access roads that traverse the terrain near Bald Butte and Pine Spring Basin. The map also captures several deep geographical features, including Holmes Canyon and Winslow Canyon, offering a detailed look at the relief and natural landmarks that guided early movement through the area.
