2014 Map of V Lake

About this map

Steens Mtn dominates this high-elevation landscape in Harney County, where steep drainages and water management features define the local geography. The map shows a network of seasonal water sources and livestock infrastructure, including Bingo Reservoir and Skull Cr Reservoir, which are vital for land use in this arid region. To the north, the plateau of Smith Flat sits between deep-cut drainages like Home Cr and Skull Cr. The eastern portion of the quadrangle is marked by significant topographical shifts, featuring Whisky Hill and the deep incision of Bone Canyon. These features, along with names like The Peaks and The Butte, illustrate the complex volcanic and erosional history of the region. Access is limited primarily to rural routes like E Steens Rd, which skirts the eastern edge of the mountain massif.
