2020 Map of The V

About this map

The Trout Creek Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in southeastern Harney County, where steep drainages and isolated springs define the remote terrain. This 2020 survey reveals a complex hydrological network centered around the headwaters of the Kings River and the significant drainage of Big Trout Creek. The map is characterized by its prominent ridges and peaks, most notably Catlow Peak and the distinctive topographic formation known as The V. Named features like Marking Corral Canyon and Mahogany Ridge suggest a history of seasonal grazing and land use in this arid corner of Oregon. Critical water sources for local wildlife and livestock are meticulously documented, including Amos Spring, Government Spring, and Burro Spring. This sheet offers a precise look at the land's natural contours before they give way to the East Basin.
