Isn't that stone corral visible from the road going up to the refuge or am I thinking of something else?

Thanks for the report. If you have not read William Kittredge's book, "Owning It All" do so. He grew up ranching in the Warner Valley. The stone corral is great - have seen similar in placed in Nevada, but much smaller. Another place to put on the list!

Yes! And I remember Mr. Sage also mentioning Kittredge. The book's ordered. Thanks to you both!

Also check out Hole in the Sky. It is IMHO Kittredge's best work about this part of the world. Worth the effort for sure. I can't spend any time in the vicinity of the Warner Valley (frequent visitor) without thinking of his history there. We have mined many great quotes from this book to illuminate the landscape in the Oregon Wild Desert calendar that I help organize for our local desert protection environmental group.
An Oregon treasure for sure.

Another good read is Bill Kitt, by D.L. (Jack) Nicol and Amy Thompson. They are cousins of William Kittredge. While they are in disagreement with Kittredge about the reasons the MC Ranch sold, it’s a great book that documents SE Oregon history. Wonderful stories like the one about Ross Dollarhide Sr riding a bicycle across the desert to get a job as a buckeroo at the Whitehorse Ranch.
It is probably out of print now, but worth searching for a copy.
