About this map

Warm Springs Valley and the surrounding high desert of Harney County are defined by a collection of vital water sources and distinct geological markers. This 2017 survey details the complex hydrography of the region, featuring several man-made impoundments such as Teddy Spring Reservoir, Yellow Spot Reservoir, and Stud Horse Reservoir. These water storage features are essential landmarks in a landscape otherwise dominated by ephemeral drainages like Buzzard Cr.

The terrain is anchored by the prominent Round Butte and its adjacent Round Butte Lake, providing a clear focal point in the southeastern portion of the quadrangle. To the southwest, the deep contours of Buzzard Canyon lead toward the seasonally variable Buzzard Lake. These features, alongside Hughet Spring, represent the critical points of interest for anyone studying the modern land use and historical management of water in this arid part of the Oregon interior.
