2021 Map of Sage Hen Hills

About this map

The high desert borderland where Nevada meets Oregon is defined by a series of prominent topographic features along the intersection of Humboldt, Washoe, Lake, and Harney counties. Centered on the Sage Hen Hills, the terrain rises toward the south at Catnip Mtn, providing a stark contrast to the surrounding canyon systems. To the west, Horse Heaven and the North Rock Springs Table overlook the high plateau, while North Lake and Rock Spring indicate the scarce but vital water sources in this arid landscape. The map illustrates a complex of historic administrative boundaries and early township divisions, such as t46n r23.5e, which guided early livestock and land management. Movement through this remote corridor is traced by the path of Co Rte 34a, connecting the region's scattered natural landmarks and seasonal grazing areas.
