2014 Map of Steamboat Point

About this map

Steamboat Point stands as a prominent landmark overlooking the high desert landscape of Harney County, Oregon. This 2014 survey captures a sparsely populated region defined by its water management and distinct landforms. The arid valley floor is marked by essential water sources for livestock and local wildlife, including Drift Fence Waterhole and Middle Lake Waterhole, alongside the Chrome Reservoir. The terrain is characterized by dramatic vertical shifts at Kit Canyon and Orejana Canyon, which descend toward the broad expanse of Warner Valley in the south. Transportation in this remote area is primarily facilitated by Mule Spring Rd, which skirts the edge of Mule Springs Valley. The map detail highlights the intersection of public land management and natural topography, illustrating how water access remains the primary infrastructure in this part of the Oregon high desert.
