Alvord Valley and the vast Alvord Desert dominate this early 1970s survey of Harney County, Oregon. The map centers on the small settlement of Andrews, situated where Andrews Creek emerges into the flats from the Steens Mountain foothills. The landscape is defined by its water management and sparse ranching outposts, including the Penland Ranch, Serrano Point Ranch, and Kueny Ranch. A Diversion Dam on Wildhorse Creek and numerous flowing wells indicate the vital effort to capture surface runoff and groundwater for agricultural use in this arid basin.
