About this map

Little Juniper Mountain anchors a high desert landscape defined by a sophisticated network of water management features in this remote section of Harney County. The terrain is marked by seasonal drainages and canyons, including Little Tank Canyon and Stormy Draw, which feed a series of specialized catchments. These small bodies of water, such as Linahan Lake, Links Lake, and the aptly named Settlement Reservoir, suggest the region's reliance on managed water for livestock and local use.

Evidence of historical habitation and human geography appears in labels like Jerrys Homestead Reservoir and Southside Spring, providing touchpoints for family history in a sparsely populated environment. The transit network is limited to unpaved arteries like Dry Valley Rd and Dry Valley Hwy, which navigate around prominent flats and ridges, including Dobie Flat and the varied waterholes like Cogans Waterhole scattered across the basin.
