Poison Springs and other vital water sources define this high-elevation landscape in Harney County, illustrating the essential infrastructure for livestock management in the high desert. The presence of The Lambing Ground suggests the seasonal rhythms of sheep ranching, where protected areas were designated for the vulnerable stages of herd management. This 2014 survey documents a complex drainage network including Poison Cr, Cucamonga Cr, and Smyth Cr, which channel seasonal runoff through the basins.
