2011 Map of Coffin Butte

About this map

Coffin Butte rises as the central landmark in this high desert landscape of eastern Oregon, located within Harney County. The area is characterized by scattered water sources that were vital for local ranching and transit, including the notable Sulphur Springs and the seasonal waters of Tudor Lake. In the southern reaches of the map, White Sage Flat provides a broad expanse of level terrain, while Stonehouse Canyon cuts into the higher elevations to the northwest. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the distribution of local roads and water management features like the North Table Mountain Reservoir, illustrating the sparse but critical infrastructure maintained in this arid region at the start of the 21st century.
