2014 Map of Rawhide Canyon

About this map

Rawhide Canyon cuts through this high desert landscape of Harney County, illustrating the remote drainage patterns of eastern Oregon. The intermittent flow of Wilson Cr serves as the primary hydrological axis, feeding into the North Wilson Reservoir in the northern reaches of the quadrangle. This area is characterized by scattered water sources essential for land management, such as the Boyce Waterhole, which provide critical points of interest for those studying the history of ranching and resource allocation in the Great Basin. The terrain transitions south toward Mule Valley, where the Public Land Survey System grid reveals the underlying township and range structure that organized this expansive territory.
