About this map

Juniper Mountain anchors this high-elevation landscape on the border of Lake and Harney counties, where the high desert terrain is defined by volcanic features and critical water management. The topographic detail highlights prominent rises like Grays Butte and the sharp drop-offs of Rehart Rim, showing a landscape sculpted by geologic time.

A network of catchments and wells, including the Browns Horse Corral Waterhole and Radio Springs Reservoir, reveals how life and industry are sustained in this arid region. These features, along with names like Sheep Reservoir and Badger Draw Reservoir, point to the area's ongoing importance for livestock and water conservation. Navigated by Forest Development and county roads like Big Juniper Rd, the map provides an essential look at the remote intersection of range management and natural geography in the Oregon high country.
