About this map

Flint Hills and Flint Ridge dominate the northwestern landscape of this Harney County high desert region, characterized by drainage systems and expansive basins. The terrain transitions from the northern ridges down into Rabbit Basin and S Rabbit Basin, areas defined by seasonal water flow and intermittent streams. Modern infrastructure is represented by rural corridors like Hogback Rd and W Basin, which provide access through the open country between the Rabbit Hills and the northern elevations.

Water management in this arid environment is evidenced by the Sherlock Gulch Reservoir, which captures runoff from Sherlock Gulch. Other hydrological features include Foley Cr and the various branches of Rabbit Cr, including the segment labeled Lower Rabbit Crk. The presence of named landmarks such as Mary Ann Draw suggests a history of local geographic identification by ranchers and land managers navigating the border of Harney and Lake counties.
