2014 Map of Little Whitehorse Creek

About this map

Little Whitehorse Creek and Whitehorse Cr carve through the high desert of the Trout Creek Mountains in this modern topographic study of southeastern Oregon. The map documents a desolate landscape along the Harney and Malheur County line, where water sources like Smith Spring and Alkali Spring are critical markers in an otherwise arid expanse. Elevation is prominently defined by distinctive landforms such as Whitehorse Butte, Willow Butte, and the high-altitude plateau of Pole Patch. Human imprint is sparse, limited primarily to primitive corridors like White Horse-15 Mile Rd and Trout Creek Rd, which follow the natural drainage patterns of the basins and range. This sheet captures the complex drainage systems of Willow Cr and Fifteenmile Cr, essential for understanding the hydrology of this remote corner of the Great Basin.
