2017 Map of Roaring Springs

About this map

Roaring Springs Ranch occupies a critical position at the foot of the Catlow Rim, where the desert terrain gives way to the vast Catlow Valley. This 2017 survey shows how the landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the rim’s high plateau down into several deep incisions, including Kueny Canyon, Black Canyon, and Roaring Springs Canyon. The presence of the Roaring Springs Airport and various water sources like Island Reservoir and the Roaring Springs themselves highlights the ranching infrastructure required to operate in this remote corner of Harney County.
