2011 Map of Anderson Mountain

About this map

Anderson Valley and its surrounding high-desert terrain dominate this portion of Harney County, where sparse settlement and ranching operations define the landscape. Water sources are the primary drivers of human presence here, evidenced by landmarks like Louie Hughes Spring, Cold Spring, and the Upper Paul Creek Spring. The map documents established holdings such as the Anderson Valley Ranch and the Bill Griffin Ranch, alongside the geographically isolated Tommies Homestead to the south. Significant elevations including Anderson Mountain and Little Riddle Mountain overlook a complex network of seasonal drainages, including Buster Creek and Camp Creek. For those studying the history of land use in the Oregon outback, the survey provides a detailed view of livestock-related features like Buck Pasture and the flat, open expanses of McBain Flat and Orejana Flat.
