About this map

The Blitzen Valley defines this portion of Harney County, where complex water management systems allow for irrigation in an arid environment. The Donner und Blitzen River flows through the western edge of the sheet, supported by a network of engineered waterways including the Krumbo Canal and Warm Springs Canal. At the center of this landscape sits the Krumbo Reservoir, which collects water from Krumbo Cr.

Topographic features like Krumbo Butte and the oddly named Dutch Oven provide local landmarks, while the Dust Bowl suggests the historically dry nature of these high-desert basins. The map also traces vital local infrastructure like the Center Patrol Rd and Hammond Ranch Rd, alongside smaller water bodies such as Baca Lake and the Del Witzel Reservoir, illustrating the fine-grained distribution of water across ranching and conservation lands.
