About this map

Catlow Rim dominates the central landscape of this Harney County region, creating a dramatic geographic divide between the Catlow Valley to the west and the high basins to the east. By the early 1970s, the area remained defined by expansive rangeland and isolated ranching outposts like H L Ranch, Brezniak Ranch, and Skull Creek Ranch. The map captures a high-desert environment where water management is critical, evidenced by Skull Creek Reservoir and numerous vital water sources such as Bohemian Spring and O'Keefe Springs.
