2023 Map of Red Bank Lakes

About this map

Dry Valley Rim and Juniper Ridge dominate this high-desert landscape in Harney County, where water management is the primary signature of land use. The map reveals an extensive network of named waterholes and reservoirs, such as State Game Reservoir Number Eleven and Hidden Reservoir, which support livestock and wildlife in this arid terrain. These features, along with names like Common Bedground Waterhole and Mule Spring Road Waterhole, suggest a history of seasonal grazing and ranching movements across the open range.
