2014 Map of Rincon Flat

About this map

The Pueblo Mountains dominate the eastern reaches of this high-desert landscape in Harney County, Oregon, where the terrain drops sharply toward the expanse of Rincon Flat. This 2014 survey reveals a land defined by its scarce but critical water resources, essential for ranching and wildlife in this arid region. Man-made catchments like McDade Reservoir, Box Canyon Reservoir, and Dip Spring Reservoir sit alongside vital natural outlets such as Rincon Spring, Bear Dog Spring, and Desert Bog Spring. A network of drainages including Rincon Cr and Long Hollow Cr carve through the geography, leading toward the central flats. This cartographic study provides an essential view of the region's infrastructure, from the high elevation of Domingo Pass to the distinct geological formation of Box Canyon.
