2017 Map of Comegys Lake

About this map

Steens Mtn dominates the eastern high desert of Harney County, Oregon, where this survey documents a landscape of vital water sources and vast elevation changes. Named landmarks often reveal the family histories of the region, such as Ross Dollarhide Springs, Bill Gordon Spring, and Charles Kuhl Springs, which provide critical reference points in an area defined by dry ridges and seasonal drainages. The topography transitions from the high peaks of Bald Mtn down into Stonehouse Canyon, while the presence of Comegys Lake and Dollar Lake highlights the importance of localized catchments in this arid environment. Transportation is limited to the peripheral Fields-Denio Rd, underscoring the remoteness of the central basin and the Puhi-Pane Na-De Flat. The map provides a precise account of the Public Land Survey System divisions, from t30s r34e to t31s r35e.
