2017 Map of Brothers

About this map

Brothers sits at the center of this 2017 high-desert landscape where the high plains of central Oregon meet the Crook County and Deschutes County boundary. The terrain is defined by the ephemeral path of Dry River, which cuts across the northern half of the quadrangle, and the unusual geological depressions known as Harney Holes. In an area where water management is critical to the local economy, features like the Fehrenbacker Reservoir and Varco Well stand out as vital landmarks for surveyors and landowners. The map records a network of rural routes including Merrill Rd, Camp Creek Rd, and Coffey Rd that connect isolated ranching tracts. This survey provides a precise account of property divisions across the four townships of T19S R18E, T20S R18E, T21S R17E, and T21S R18E.
