About this map

Ladycomb Peak and the adjacent Lady Comb landform anchor this high-desert landscape in southeastern Oregon, where a complex network of seasonal drainages feeds into the Catlow Valley. The terrain is defined by the convergence of several major creek systems, including Horse Creek, Willow Creek, and Little Cottonwood Creek, which flow through a sparsely settled region of the Great Basin. Ranching and remote outposts are the primary human markers, evidenced by McDade Ranch in the north and small structures like Stergen Cabin and McLean Cabin further south.

Transportation through this area is facilitated by Oleachea Pass, which provides a natural route across the elevated topography. The presence of Cold Spring and the Willow Creek Pockets highlights the critical importance of water sources in this arid environment. These scattered landmarks, along with many named tributaries like Sesena Creek and Arizona Creek, reveal the historical reliance on specific geography for navigation and survival in Harney County.
