2023 Map of Sand Gap

About this map

Virginia Valley and Anderson Valley define the high desert topography of this region in Harney County. The landscape is marked by significant water management features used for ranching and land use, including Mahon Reservoir and Jenkins Reservoir. The South Fork Malheur River cuts through the northern sections, while Buster Creek and Camp Creek drain the southern draws. Named geological curiosities like Hole in the Ground and the prominent Round Mtn provide essential landmarks for navigating this remote basin. Transportation follows established paths such as Crane Blvd and Anderson Valley Rd, tracing the natural corridors between the rising ridges and the sunken flats of the Sand Gap.
