1971 Map of Keg Sprs Valley West

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Haines Cabin and Munsey Lake stand as quiet markers of human presence in the high desert of Harney County, Oregon. This landscape, primarily defined by the transition between the level Foster Flat and the depressions of Keg Springs Valley, reveals a network of water management essential for livestock and local travel in the early 1970s. The prevalence of waterholes and reservoirs, such as the CCC Reservoir and Keg Springs Rimrock Reservoir, suggests a territory heavily utilized for rangeland. A primitive transportation network of Jeep Trails connects these water sources, including the remote Durbin Waterhole and Garry Lake Waterhole. The terrain is punctuated by distinctive geological features like Rocky Butte and the deep V Canyon, which drop away from the flat-topped mesas that dominate the northern portion of the quadrangle.
