About this map

Wagontire Mountain dominates the high desert landscape of southeastern Oregon, marking a significant topographic rise along the border of Lake and Harney Counties. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey highlights a sparsely populated region defined by seasonal water sources and volcanic terrain. In the northern reaches of the quadrangle, the Lost Cr Reservoir and the winding course of Lost Cr indicate the vital role of water management in this arid environment. The map details the intricate drainage patterns leading into Egli Canyon, providing a clear record of the area's natural hydrology and the established township and range boundaries that have organized this territory since its initial settlement. For those researching the geography of the Oregon high desert, the map provides precise locations for these enduring landmarks.
