About this map

Hemmy Cabin and Anderson Cabin stand as isolated landmarks in this 2011 survey of Harney County's high desert country. The landscape is defined by its water management, featuring a dense network of waterholes and reservoirs such as Dooley Bedground Reservoir, Con Drum Reservoir, and Drum Reservoir. These artificial water sources, paired with natural features like Old Jims Lake and Monahan Lake, reveal the infrastructure required for ranching in an arid environment.

Topographic features like Juniper Ridge and Rock Camp Draw create a rugged backdrop for seasonal grazing operations, centered around points like the Foot of the Trail Corral. The presence of named drainages like Open Draw and Little Draw alongside Juniper Canyon illustrates the complex drainage patterns of the basin. The only major named transit route, Rawhide Spring Rd, provides the primary access through this remote terrain, linking various spring sites and valleys.
