2014 Map of Wagontire Mountain West

About this map

Wagontire Mountain dominates this high-desert landscape on the border of Lake and Harney counties. This 2014 survey documents a sparse network of roads and water features vital to the local economy and navigation, including Walter Lake Rd and Sourdough Lake Rd. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes at Egli Canyon and water resources like Lost Cr Reservoir and Wolter Lake. In the southeast corner, the Wagontire Airport provides a remote point of access to this isolated region. The map reflects a landscape where human infrastructure is secondary to the natural geography, with most activity centered on these intermittent water sources and the primitive road network that connects them across the high plateaus.
