About this map

Blitzen Valley defines the western portion of this landscape, where the Donner und Blitzen River flows through a managed corridor of hydrology. The reliance on water management in this arid region of Harney County is evident through the extensive network of irrigation and storage, including the Eastside Canal and Bridge Cr Canal. These engineered waterways sit alongside a series of upland catchment basins such as Bridge Cr Reservoir Number One and Bridge Cr Reservoir Number Two, illustrating the complex effort to harness seasonal runoff for the valley floor.

Recreational and transit access is anchored by Page Springs and the Steens Mountain Loop, which provide a gateway to the high-desert terrain. Away from the river, the map documents numerous named springs and smaller reservoirs like Frazier Field Reservoir and Butte Cr Reservoir, serving as vital water points across the high plateaus. The placement of the Fish Lake Rd and E Canal Trail reflects the long-established routes used by locals and travelers to navigate between the valley and the surrounding rimrock.
