About this map

Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge occupies the western portion of this high-desert landscape, where the terrain transitions toward the Catlow Valley (Depression) to the east. At the center of this 1971 field-checked survey lies the Rock Creek Reservoir, a vital water source fed by Rock Creek and Buckhorn Creek. Evidence of earlier human activity is marked by a cluster of Ruins just west of the reservoir, providing a focal point for those interested in the area's pastoral history. The map also delineates the boundary between Lake County and Harney County, which runs through the high plateaus and drainage systems that characterize this remote corner of Oregon.
