1973 Map of Carson Point

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Carson Point rises above an arid Harney County landscape defined by ephemeral water and scattered infrastructure in the early 1970s. The terrain transitions from the high ground of the point down to the seasonal basin containing Bennett Lake and Howell Lake. Water management and resource extraction leave their mark through numerous labeled Well sites and a Drill Hole south of the expansive Sand Dunes. The presence of John Logan Lane in the northeast suggests early ranching or family-named access routes in this part of the state. Drainage patterns are meticulously mapped, showing the relationship between Malheur Slough, Rock Creek, and Little Rock Creek as they negotiate the basin floor. This survey provides a precise look at the land's hydrology and human footprint just before the mid-1970s, from the edge of Crane Creek to the various sand formations.
