About this map

Whitehorse Ranch sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape on the border of Harney and Malheur counties. The settlement, situated within Whitehorse Valley, is the primary point of habitation in a region defined by an intricate network of drainage systems and seasonal water sources. The map details the hydrology of the area, featuring Whitehorse Cr, Fish Cr, and the Little Antelope Cr, which carve through the basin and range topography.

Remote livestock management and water conservation are evident through several named infrastructure points. Features such as Steens View Reservoir and Bog Hole Reservoir indicate the importance of water storage in this arid environment. Significant landmarks like Whitehorse Butte provide orienting points for the primitive road network, including Mud Spring Rd and Crooked Creek Range Rd, which connect the isolated ranching operations to the wider Oregon outback.
