2017 Map of Coffin Butte

About this map

Coffin Butte rises as the central landmark in this high-desert landscape of Harney County, illustrating the isolated water sources and vast topography of the Oregon interior. The map documents vital hydrological features such as Sulphur Springs and the expansive Mickey Basin, which are critical points in an arid environment. Transportation in the area is minimal, centered on the Table Mountain Well Rd, reflecting the remote and sparsely developed character of the region. This portion of the Great Basin is further defined by open stretches like White Sage Flat, where the terrain transitions between low-lying flats and volcanic buttes. For those researching the history of land use or natural springs in the high desert, this survey provides a precise layout of the landscape before modern shifts in water table or access occurred.
