2024 Map of Rock Camp Draw

About this map

Juniper Ridge and the arid depressions of the Oregon high desert define this remote landscape in Harney County. The area is characterized by an extensive network of ephemeral water sources and stock reservoirs, essential for the livestock economy of the Great Basin. Points of interest include family-named or colloquial landmarks such as Old Jims Lake, Rock Camp Lake, and the curiously named Mule Tit. The topography reveals the transition from the high grounds of Juniper Ridge down into the expansive Warner Valley and Mule Springs Valley. Navigating this terrain are historic tracks like the NAT FOR DEV RD Road 6155 and Warner Va, which connect various isolated waterholes such as Flyspeck Waterhole and North Desert Waterhole Number Nineteen. This map provides a detailed view of the water management infrastructure, including the Dooley Bedground Reservoir and Con-Drum-Reservoir.
