U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 
The Sheldon and Hart Mountain Refuges are remote and expansive jewels of high-desert habitat, set aside in the 1930s for the conservation of pronghorn antelope. Thirty years later, a centralized administrative office for the two refuges was established in Lakeview, Oregon to meet the increasing demands of managing these habitats and the need for basic commercial services and amenities. Today, refuge maintenance staff and field biologists remain at remote stations on the refuges while administration, outreach, biological investigations, and fire management services are provided from Lakeview.

Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge, Oregon
 
The Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge protects more than half a million acres of high desert habitat for large wintering herds of pronghorn antelope, scattered bands of bighorn sheep, and a rich assortment of other wildlife. The landscape is vast, rugged, and punctuated with waterfalls, narrow gorges, and lush springs among rolling hills and expansive tablelands of sagebrush and mountain mahogany.
 
Although established for the protection of wildlife and habitat, the refuge encompasses other interesting features. The remains of old homesteads and ranches intrigue visitors. The lure of fire opals draws miners and rock collectors to the Virgin Valley mining district. Geothermal hot springs create a refreshing oasis in the heart of the refuge. The refuge's mosaic of resources and public interests generates significant management challenges.
