2011 Map of Blitzen NW

About this map

Rock Creek Ranch serves as a central landmark in this high-desert portion of Harney County, illustrating the persistence of ranching operations in a landscape defined by seasonal watercourses. The map traces the winding paths of Rock Creek and Guano Slough, which dictate the placement of human activity in this arid environment. For those researching local history or genealogy, the inclusion of Rock Creek Cemetery provides a specific point of interest, marking a legacy of early settlers in this remote area of southeast Oregon. The road network shown reflects the practical requirements of ranching life, connecting isolated points across the open range as it appeared in the early 21st century.
