1971 Map of Keg Sprs Valley East

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Keg Springs Valley dominates this high-desert landscape, reflecting a remote ranching and water-management system in southeastern Oregon. Cattle-rearing infrastructure is evident through the widespread network of reservoirs and springs, including the Lower Herlihy Reservoir and its associated upper and middle basins. The presence of the Well Corral and several waterholes, such as Twin Road Waterhole, highlights the essential need for water sources in this arid region of Harney County. Access to these areas is primarily limited to a network of a Jeep Trail and other unimproved tracks. Topographical landmarks like Barneys Butte and Jackass Butte provide significant vertical relief against the valley floor, while features like Downs Lake and Taylor Lake mark seasonal or perennial water basins critical to the local ecosystem during this era.
