About this map

The high desert terrain of the Trout Creek Mountains dominates this portion of Harney County, where water management is the primary marker of human activity on the land. A network of catchments and natural springs, such as Stewart Reservoir Number 1, Lonely Reservoir, and Sheep Camp Spring, indicates a landscape organized around livestock grazing and seasonal water security. The Whitehorse Ranch Rd provides the central artery through this remote basin, skirting the base of Willow Butte and following the drainage of Little Trout Creek. High ridges like Center Ridge and Mahogany Ridge frame deep cuts such as Pole Canyon and Cove Canyon, creating a complex topography of volcanic uplands. This modern survey captures the enduring importance of isolated water sources like Rosebriar Spring and Little Cole Spring in a region where geography is defined by the search for reliable moisture.
