2014 Map of Little Juniper Mountain

About this map

Little Juniper Mountain rises above a high desert landscape characterized by an extensive network of water catchments and livestock reservoirs essential for survival in this arid section of Harney County. The map details the transition from the rugged drainage of Little Tank Canyon in the north to the broad expanse of Dobie Flat. Water management is the primary human imprint on the land, evidenced by numerous named features such as Jerrys Homestead Reservoir, Prospectors Reservoir, and Stovepipe Reservoir. Transportation through the area is limited to rugged tracks like Dry Valley Rd and Little Juniper Rd, while the Wagontire Airport provides a remote aerial link. The presence of Southside Spring and various waterholes like Cogans Waterhole underscores the historical and ongoing importance of reliable water sources in this remote ranching and grazing territory.
