About this map

Coffin Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this high desert landscape of Harney County, surveyed during the late 1970s. The terrain is defined by a series of significant geologic depressions and the rising slopes of the Sheepshead Mountains to the east. This area of Oregon reflects a sparse, resource-focused land use pattern where water sources are the primary named features. Vital water points such as Sulphur Springs, Pollock Well, and Flowing Well are scattered across the arid basins, indicating the critical infrastructure required for ranching or survival in this environment. To the south, the transition into Mickey Basin and the level expanse of White Sage Flat showcases the characteristic basin-and-range topography, where flat alkali or sagebrush plains are interrupted by sudden, steep-sided volcanic buttes.
