About this map

Wagontire stands as a focal point in this high-desert portion of Harney County, where the landscape is defined by its water management and sparse ranching infrastructure. The terrain rises to the southwest toward Little Juniper Mtn, with the surrounding plains etched by Stormy Draw and Wagon Draw. The area's reliance on intermittent water sources is evident in the dense network of catchments, including Settlement Reservoir, Stovepipe Reservoir, and Linahan Lake.

Transport through this arid region follows the Dry Valley Rd and Dry Valley Hwy, providing access to isolated landmarks such as Dobie Flat and Smoke Out Canyon. The presence of several named waterholes, such as Walters Lake Waterhole and Cogans Waterhole, highlights the importance of these specific locations for livestock and local travel in an environment where natural springs like Southside Spring are rare.
