About this map

Robbers Roost and the high desert landscape of Harney County are documented in this 1981 survey, where water management is the central theme of the geography. The map reveals a network of man-made water sources essential for survival in this arid terrain, including the Basque Hills Well and numerous catchment points like Holmes Reservoir No 2 and Ryegrass Reservoir. The dramatic topography is defined by the Catlow Rim and the Basque Hills, while named flats like Raz Lewis Flat indicate the historic use of the land by early ranchers and homesteaders.
