2023 Map of Poison Springs

About this map

Poison Springs and the nearby Wood Camp Reservoir anchor this remote high-desert landscape in southeastern Harney County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages including Little Kiger Creek, Smyth Creek, and Cucamonga Creek, which cut through the steep topography of the Steens Mountain area. A significant interpretive detail is the presence of the Poison Spg Stock Trail RIPS 711458 Trl, a named historical route that underscores the region's enduring connection to the open-range livestock industry. Land features such as The Lambing Ground further reflect this pastoral history, marking specific sites used for seasonal sheep management. Numerous water sources, including Shepherd Spring and Waterhole Spring, remain vital landmarks in an otherwise arid environment where water determines the movement of both livestock and wildlife.
