The '''Doherty Slide''' is a prominent dissected rim of [[volcano|volcanic]] origin located in southeastern [[Oregon]] in the [[United States]]. It is located in rural [[Lake County, Oregon|Lake County]], just north of the [[Nevada]] border. The ridge sits at the eastern end of the [[Guano Valley]], approximately 20 miles (32 km) east of the town of [[Adel, Oregon|Adel]].

The ridge was formed by [[lava]] extrusions and has been subsequently eroded to produce the present rim. The term "slide" likely refers to the large amount of eroded material along the base of the ridge, which rises approximately 1000 ft (300 m) from the valley floor on the western side. The eastern side is a plateau that stretches eastward through southeastern Oregon. [[Oregon Route 140]] climbs the face of the slide.
