2017 Map of Blitzen SW

About this map

Catlow Valley defines the core of this southeastern Oregon landscape, where the vast, open basin of Harney County is captured in detail. The terrain is marked by the seasonal drainage of Guano Slough, which meanders through the western portion of the quadrangle. This 2017 survey illustrates a sparsely developed region primarily defined by Public Land Survey System divisions such as t34s r30e and t35s r30e, reflecting the enduring grid of the American West. The presence of W Guan suggests the limited but essential transport network connecting the remote basin floors. For those studying the hydrology of the high desert or the history of ranching allotments in the Great Basin, the map provides a clear record of land management and natural drainage patterns.
