2014 Map of Northwest Harney Lake

About this map

Harney Lake and the arid basins of Warm Springs Valley dominate this High Desert landscape, showing the complex hydrology of the Harney Basin. The map records the management of water through the Saint Clair Canal and Goulden Canal, essential infrastructure for ranching in this dry environment. Elevated landmarks like Freeman Butte provide topographical relief over the valley floor, while names like Beshell Grds and Oo Ranch Rd speak to the region's agricultural history. Silver Cr winds through the southwestern reaches, feeding into the terminal lake system. This survey illustrates the delicate balance of water resources and geography, from the depths of Brown Canyon to the wide expanse of Sand Hollow.
