2011 Map of Wagontire Mountain East

About this map

Wagontire Mountain dominates this portion of Harney County, providing a high-desert backdrop for the small settlement of Wagontire. The landscape is defined by its arid drainage patterns, with Big Tank Creek and Little Tank Creek winding through the terrain toward the east. High points like Egli Ridge and the descent into Egli Canyon illustrate the localized relief of this volcanic region. Human activity is concentrated along the Gap Ranch-Wagontire Rd, which serves as the primary artery connecting the isolated Wagontire Airport to the surrounding rangeland. Water sources are sparse but critical, represented by features like Foster Spring, which historically supported livestock and travelers in this interior part of Oregon.
