2011 Map of V Lake

About this map

High desert ranching and water management define this Harney County landscape, centered on the drainage systems feeding toward the Alvord Basin. Chet Curry Ranch and Blair Ranch anchor the human presence in this remote eastern Oregon territory, where seasonal water flow is captured by infrastructure like Bingo Reservoir, Bango Reservoir, and Skull Creek Reservoir. The terrain is marked by distinct geological features, from the prominence of Whisky Hill and The Butte to the high elevations of The Peaks in the south.
