2020 Map of Bluejoint Lake East

About this map

Warner Valley's high-desert terrain is the central focus of this survey, dominated by the massive verticality of Poker Jim Ridge. This escarpment drops sharply toward the ephemeral bed of Bluejoint Lake, illustrating the stark geologic shifts characteristic of the Great Basin. The eastern portion of the quadrangle transitions into a series of drainage systems, most notably Snyder Canyon and the seasonal path of Rock Cr. Transportation is limited to the far southeastern corner where Frenchglen Rd provides the primary access through this sparsely populated corner of Harney County. The map provides an exacting look at the township and range system, specifically within t33s r26e and t33s r27e, which defines property boundaries and land management in this cattle-ranching region.
