2014 Map of Wagontire Mountain East

About this map

Wagontire Mountain dominates the high desert landscape of central Harney County, its eastern slopes descending toward a series of volcanic ridges and drainage basins. This 2014 survey documents a territory defined by large-scale land management, where the high-altitude Wagontire Airport sits isolated at the mountain's southern base near Us-395. The map highlights essential water sources in this arid environment, including Foster Spring and the drainage networks of Big Tank Cr and Little Tank Cr. The topography is marked by significant features such as Egli Ridge and Egli Canyon, which reveal the complex geological character of the region. Transportation is limited to the primary highway and the Gap Ranch-Wagontire Rd, a route that connects remote ranching interests across the township and range grid system.
