2023 Map of Coffin Butte

About this map

Coffin Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this high-desert region of Harney County, serving as the central topographical anchor for a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and seasonal drainage basins. The map illustrates a remote territory where water sources are vital but sparse, highlighted by the location of Sulphur Springs tucked into the western slopes. Toward the southeast, the terrain levels out into the broad expanses of Mickey Basin and White Sage Flat, indicating the transition from the basaltic ridges to the lower playa floors characteristic of the Great Basin. Human imprint is minimal, represented largely by the winding path of Table Mountain Well Rd as it traverses the eastern high ground, providing access across this arid rangeland.
