2017 Map of Keg Springs Valley West

About this map

Keg Springs Valley sits at the center of this high-desert landscape in Harney County, characterized by a complex network of seasonal waterholes and reservoirs essential for land management. The geography is defined by expansive flats like Foster Flat and named depressions that collect water, such as Jerrys Lake, Munsey Lake, and the small Tucke Lake in the southern reaches. Human intervention in this arid environment is evident through the naming of the Foster Lake CCC Rd and the CCC Reservoir, indicating the legacy of the Civilian Conservation Corps in developing infrastructure here. Strategic water points like the Keg Springs Rimrock Reservoir and New Hole Reservoir highlight the region's reliance on managed water sources. The terrain transitions into more pronounced relief at Rocky Butte and the steep descent of V Canyon to the southeast.
