2011 Map of Page Springs

About this map

Page Springs anchors this high-desert landscape in Harney County, where the management of water defines the human footprint. The Donner und Blitzen River winds through the western edge of the quadrangle, feeding a complex network of irrigation and storage infrastructure. Engineering for ranching and agriculture is evident in the Eastside Canal and the Bridge Creek Canal, alongside numerous named impoundments such as Bridge Creek Reservoir Number One and the Frazier Field Reservoir. This remote region is also punctuated by vital water sources for livestock and travel, including Witzel Spring, Knox Spring, and the Company Trough, while Fish Lake Rd provides one of the few primary routes across the dry terrain.
