2020 Map of Wildhorse Lake

About this map

Steens Mtn dominates this high-elevation landscape in Harney County, where the dramatic glacial carving of Kiger Gorge and Wildhorse Canyon illustrates a complex geological history. The area serves as a significant hydrological headwaters region, with numerous drainage systems radiating from the central peaks. To the west, the Little Blitzen River and Big Indian Cr flow through deep canyons, while the eastern slopes are defined by the steep descent of Cottonwood Cr and Big Alvord Cr. High alpine water bodies including Wildhorse Lake and Little Wildhorse Lake are focal points of the terrain. Human presence is marked by Jackman Park and the winding Steens Mountain Rd, providing access to these remote landmarks. The map also identifies notable features like Devine Rock and the upper reaches of Kiger Cr, detailing a landscape of extreme vertical relief and seasonal watercourses.
