About this map

Whitehorse Ranch serves as a remote hub of human activity in the expansive Whitehorse Valley, situated at the intersection of several local routes like Whitehorse Rd and Whitehorse Ranch Ln. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the high desert landscape along the border of Harney and Malheur counties, where the management of water is vital to ranching operations.

The presence of man-made features such as Steens View Reservoir and Bog Hole Reservoir highlights the necessity of water storage in this arid environment. Natural water sources including Fish Cr and Whitehorse Cr flow through the terrain, which is dominated by the prominent elevation of Whitehorse Butte to the south. This map provides a detailed view of the remote ranching infrastructure and the drainage patterns of the Antelope Cr watershed during the early 21st century.
