2020 Map of Twin Buttes
USGS Topo · Published 2020About this map
Twin Buttes rises above a vast high-desert landscape in Harney County, characterized by an extensive system of water management features essential for ranching in this arid climate. The terrain is marked by numerous man-made basins and natural collection points, including Long Canyon Reservoir, Horseshoe Reservoir, and several named waterholes such as On-Top Waterhole and Griffen Waterhole. These features, along with the seasonal flow of Jackass Creek, illustrate the historical and ongoing effort to sustain livestock and wildlife in the Oregon outback.
