2017 Map of Potato Hills

About this map

Potato Hills rise above the high desert floor of Harney County, defining a landscape shaped by intermittent water and livestock ranching infrastructure. This 2017 survey details the essential water sources in an arid environment, including Potato Hill Reservoir, Roadside Reservoir, and the N Gap Waterhole. Drainage is dominated by Chickahominy Cr and its S Fork Chickahominy Cr, while human movement is dictated by remote routes like Bulger Creek Rd and Gap Ranch-Wagontire Rd. The map illustrates the region's ranching heritage through features like the Sheep L Ditch and natural basins such as Lamb Lake and Sheep Lake, which serve as vital landmarks in this expansive basin and range territory.
