About this map

Sage Hen Valley dominates the northern landscape of this high-desert region in Harney County, where the terrain is defined by a network of seasonal water catchments. The map reveals a specific cattle-country economy through features like Lost Lake Waterhole and Lookout Butte Reservoir, critical infrastructure in a land where many water bodies are ephemeral. The survey identifies numerous arid basins including Frank Schmidt Lake, Albert Lake, and the namesake Weaver Lake, suggesting a cycle of seasonal inundation and dry lake beds. Family-named landmarks such as West Batts Camp Lake and Scotts Canyon provide genealogical anchors for the area's ranching history. This 1990 edition, based on 1980s aerial photography, documents the land just as modern conservation and land management practices were being codified in the Oregon desert.
