2024 Map of Potato Hills

About this map

Potato Hill rises as a central landmark in this portion of Harney County, where the high desert landscape is defined by its seasonal water management and grazing infrastructure. The map reveals a complex network of intermittent water sources and ranching improvements, including the Sheep Ditch and multiple localized catchments like the Potato Hill Reservoir and Roadside Reservoir. These features, along with the North Gap Waterhole, reflect the essential efforts to capture and move water across an arid terrain where natural drainages like Chickahominy Creek and its south fork are often dry.
