About this map

The Harney Co and Malheur Co line bisects this high-elevation landscape, where cattle grazing and water management define the human footprint. Dominating the topography is Table Mtn, a prominent landform surrounded by a network of catchments including North Table Mountain Reservoir and East Table Mountain Reservoir. These reservoirs, along with Steel Post Reservoir and Bobcat Reservoir, reflect a landscape engineered for ranching and livestock in the arid eastern Oregon desert.

To the east, the Sheepshead Mountains rise above Wildcat Creek and the deep incision of Mickey Canyon. The map details a remote network of natural springs and improved water sources such as Heath Creek Spring and Pouge Holes Spring, essential landmarks for those navigating the backcountry. Access is primarily maintained through the Three Forks Reservoir Rd, which tracks across the township lines of the t31s r37e and t32s r37e districts.
