About this map

Donner und Blitzen River flows through the eastern edge of this Harney County landscape, carving through a high-elevation plateau defined by significant drainage systems and steep escarpments. The topography is dominated by the dramatic ascent of the Catlow Rim in the southwest, where the land drops sharply toward the Catlow Valley. Local water sources are critical to this arid environment, evidenced by seasonal flows like Dry Cr and more permanent points such as Three Springs. Transportation across this remote ranching and grazing country relies on a sparse network of unpaved routes, including Lauserica Rd and Lower Crossing Rd, which navigate the complex terrain around Threemile Canyon and the headwaters of Home Cr.
