About this map

The Sheepshead Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape along the border of Harney and Malheur counties, showing a region defined by complex topography and critical water management. The 1981 survey details an arid environment where ranching and land use relied heavily on a network of springs and man-made catchments, such as Antelope Spring No 4 and Three Forks Reservoir. Notable landmarks like Table Mountain provide a dramatic backdrop to the winding course of Wildcat Creek and the deep incision of Mickey Canyon. This map records a specific infrastructure of remote survival, from the Table Mountain Well to several namesake reservoirs like Bobcat Reservoir and Wildcat Reservoir, which supported the livestock and movement through this corner of the Oregon desert before the modernization of rural access.
