1984 Map of Juniper Mtn

About this map

Juniper Mountain and the imposing Abert Rim dominate this high desert landscape along the border of Lake and Harney counties. This 1980s survey captures a region defined by its water management and livestock history, where seasonal hydrology is marked by numerous waterholes and springs. The map documents the infrastructure of remote ranching life, from the Leehmann Cow Camp in the north to the Clark Cow Camp and Browns Horse Corral Waterhole further south. The Alkali Valley floor to the west contrasts sharply with the elevated terrain of Grays Butte and the plateau. Notable features like the Highway Maintenance Station along Route 395 and various reservoirs, such as Radio Reservoir and Badger Draw Reservoir, illustrate the human effort to sustain activity in this arid environment.
