2014 Map of Jennies Peak

About this map

Jennies Peak stands as the primary landmark in this corner of the High Desert where the boundaries of Wasco and Wheeler counties meet. The landscape is defined by a series of dramatic volcanic and erosional features, including Sheep Mtn in the northwest and the distinctive Coffin Rock and Coyote Mtn to the south. Water sources are scarce but critical in this arid terrain, marked by Nicholson Spring and Sand Spring, which likely served as vital stopovers for ranching operations. The topography is deeply incised by complex drainage systems such as Jennies Peak Canyon, Rattlesnake Canyon, and Dugout Canyon. Extensive plateau areas like Juniper Flat and Breo Flat provide the only level ground amidst the ridges of Cactus Ridge and high points like Amine Peak. This map illustrates the intersection of Township 8 and 9 South, showing a territory largely shaped by its geology and the sparse availability of water.
