2011 Map of Camp Currey Spring

About this map

Camp Currey Spring serves as a vital water source in this high desert landscape of central Oregon, where a complex network of seasonal drainages defines the geography. The map illustrates a transitional environment where the upper reaches of Silver Creek and Chickahominy Creek begin their descent through the territory. Unlike more developed regions, this area is characterized by a sparse grid of forest and ranch roads, including Mayo Ranch Rd and McCanlies Rd, which provide access to the remote backcountry. The drainage patterns of Rough Creek and Dairy Creek reveal the subtle contours of the terrain, while the naming of Sawmill Creek suggests the historical importance of local timber resources to the region's early economy. This 2011 survey records the essential hydrology and access routes that have supported livestock and land management in Harney County for generations.
