2017 Map of Sixmile Draw

About this map

Frenchglen Rd cuts diagonally across this high desert landscape, serving as the primary corridor through a region defined by seasonal drainage and volcanic terrain. In the northern reaches, the Black Rim and Gray Buttes rise as prominent geological landmarks, overlooking a network of ephemeral water sources critical to the area's land use. Strategic landmarks such as High Rim Waterhole and Outside Waterhole dot the map, indicating the vital importance of water management in this arid stretch of Harney and Lake Counties. The presence of Sixmile Draw and Rock Cr further illustrates the natural drainage patterns that have shaped the territory's ranching and transit history into the modern era.
