About this map

Trout Creek Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Harney County, where the dramatic terrain of The V and Catlow Peak defines the local topography. This 2014 survey reveals a complex hydrological network of ephemeral streams and vital water sources, including Government Spring, Amos Spring, and No Name Spring. The drainage patterns are clearly marked by Big Trout Cr and its various forks, alongside Little Trout Cr and Coffee Cr.

Landmarks such as Mahogany Ridge and Center Ridge provide orientation across the remote basin. The nomenclature suggests a history of livestock and ranching, evidenced by Marking Corral Spring and Marking Corral Canyon near the East Basin. This map is an essential reference for understanding the water security and land use patterns in this secluded corner of the Oregon high desert, from Cove Canyon to the headwaters of the Kings River.
