2017 Map of Burns Junction

About this map

Burns Junction sits as a lonely highway crossing in this southeastern Oregon landscape, serving as a vital navigational point where regional routes converge. The terrain is dominated by the prominent elevation of Scott Butte, which rises above a network of seasonal drainage patterns. Waterways such as Scott Butte Cr, Palomino Cr, and Crooked Cr thread through the high desert, illustrating the complex hydrography of Malheur County. The map details the rural road infrastructure including Powell Rd and Crooked Creek Rd, which provide access across the vast sections of the Public Land Survey System, marked here by boundaries like t31s r40e. This survey captures a region defined by its wide-open ranching character and the stark geography of the Oregon outback.
