2017 Map of Rock Camp Draw

About this map

Rock Camp Draw and its surrounding high-desert landscape in Harney County illustrate a complex network of seasonal water management in a region defined by its arid character. The terrain is marked by distinct depressions and drainage features such as Little Draw, Open Draw, and the prominent Juniper Canyon. A high density of waterholes and reservoirs, including Speck Waterhole, Flyspeck Waterhole, and Dooley Bedground Reservoir, suggests a land primarily utilized for livestock grazing where every catchment point is critical. Large topographic landmarks like Juniper Ridge and the unusually named Mule Tit provide essential orientation in this sprawling basin-and-range environment. The presence of Little Valley and Warner Valley further highlights how the natural geography dictates the flow of movement and settlement in this corner of the Great Basin.
