1971 Map of Andrews

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Alvord Lake and the arid expanse of the Alvord Desert dominate this Harney County landscape, where water management is the central theme of settlement. In the early 1970s, the map illustrates a network of remote homesteads and ranching outposts like the Serrano Point Ranch, Penland Ranch, and Kueny Ranch that rely on a system of Flowing Wells and a Diversion Dam on the Wildhorse Creek. The terrain is characterized by dramatic elevation shifts, from the high Serrano Point down to the vast Alvord Valley. For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of the Cem near Wilson Creek and isolated landmarks such as Readis Homestead and McLean Place provides a clear record of the families who inhabited this high desert region before the shift toward modern land use.
