2014 Map of Andrews

About this map

Andrews sits at the base of the Steens Mountain range in Harney County, serving as a focal point for this high-desert landscape. This 2014 survey captures the settlement near the Andrews Cem and the Wildhorse Valley Airport, illustrating the essential infrastructure of this remote ranching region. The terrain transitions sharply from the rugged elevations of Serrano Point down into the expansive Alvord Desert and the seasonal basin of Alvord Lake. Water management is central to the area's survival, evidenced by the Kueny Ditch and numerous springs such as Serrano Spring and Dixon Spring. The map documents a network of seasonal drainages, including Wildhorse Cr and Alvord Cr, which flow toward the desert floor. Roadways like E Steens Rd provide the primary transit through Wildhorse Valley, connecting isolated homesteads and land tracts defined by the Public Land Survey System.
