2017 Map of Wagontire Mountain East

About this map

Wagontire Mountain dominates the high desert landscape of Harney County, rising above a series of drainages and rugged geological formations. In this 2017 study, the central terrain is defined by Egli Ridge and the deep incision of Egli Canyon, highlighting the complex topography of the Oregon interior. The map records essential water sources in this arid environment, such as Foster Spring and the seasonal flows of Big Tank Cr and Little Tank Cr. Transportation across this remote segment of the state relies on Us-395 and the north-south passage of the Gap Ranch-Wagontire Rd. Aviation history is noted at the Wagontire Airport, situated on the lower slopes near the canyon mouth. This survey provides a clear view of the cadastral grid and public land survey system lines that organize these vast rangelands.
