2020 Map of Mahon Creek

About this map

The Stinkingwater Mountains and the Crane Creek Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Harney County, illustrating a complex network of water management through numerous reservoirs and springs. Surface water in this arid environment is carefully captured at sites like Big Spring Reservoir, Mahon Cr Reservoir, and the Crowcamp Reservoir. The terrain transitions from the elevated Crowcamp Mtn and Crowcamp Hills down to open expanses such as Ritterbusch Flat and Devine Flat. Local transit is defined by primitive and secondary routes like the Crane-Buchanan Rd and several Bureau of Land Management access roads. Notable landmarks for navigation and land use include Laton Point and scattered watering points like McDonald Waterhole and Hornbeck Spring.
