About this map

Jennies Peak rises as the namesake landmark of this high-elevation landscape in Wasco County, situated along the border of Wheeler Co. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent volcanic and erosional forms, including Sheep Mtn, Coyote Mtn, and Amine Peak. Broad, flat tablelands like Juniper Flat and Breo Flat are sharply incised by a complex network of drainages, such as Sluice Canyon, Rattlesnake Canyon, and Dugout Canyon.

Water sources are scarce across this arid environment, marked only by isolated points like Sand Spring near Sand Spring Butte and Nicholson Spring in the eastern reaches. The lack of established roads or permanent settlements within these townships emphasizes the area's primary character as open rangeland and wild territory. Landforms like Coffin Rock and Black Top serve as distinctive navigational markers for those traversing the high ridges between the deep canyons of Rock Canyon and Shaw Canyon.
