2020 Map of Krumbo Reservoir

About this map

Blitzen Valley defines the western edge of this Harney County landscape, where the Donner und Blitzen River and human-engineered water systems like the Krumbo Canal and Wamp Springs Canal manage the flow of water across the high desert. The map illustrates a complex network of reservoirs and springs essential to this arid environment, ranging from the prominent Krumbo Reservoir to smaller basins like De Witzel Reservoir and Larkspur Reservoir. High points and distinctive terrain features such as Krumbo Butte and the curious Dutch Oven rise above the flats. Remote ranching and land management access is provided by primitive routes such as Hog Wallow Seeding Rd and Center Patrol Rd, while the southern reaches contain the expansive Baca Lake and Lower Antelope Reservoir.
