About this map

Buzzard Canyon and Deep Canyon carve through this high-elevation landscape in Harney County, defining a region where water and relief dictate the geography. The seasonal drainage of Buzzard Cr navigates the terrain, punctuated by small basins such as Chicken Feed Lake and Buzzard Lake at the southern end.

The presence of the Smoky Hollow Rim and the corresponding Smoky Hollow highlights a distinct Escarpment feature common to this part of the Oregon high desert. This area, largely defined by the Public Land Survey System grids of T27S R27E and surrounding townships, illustrates a remote and sparsely populated rangeland where topographic landmarks like named canyons and seasonal lakes serve as the primary navigational anchors for land management and local history.
