2020 Map of Mickey Springs

About this map

Mickey Basin and the surrounding high desert of Harney County are defined here by essential water sources and the singular Mickey Alvord Wells Rd track. This arid landscape is anchored by Mickey Springs at the base of the prominent Mickey Butte, while Crippled Horse Spring provides a rare point of reference to the north. The survey illustrates a terrain of steep elevation changes and drainage patterns that dictate travel and land use in this part of southeastern Oregon. The lack of permanent structures emphasizes the region's character as open range or protected land, where named springs and volcanic buttes serve as the primary landmarks for navigation and local history.
