1967 Map of Coyote Buttes

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Blitzen Valley dominates this high-desert landscape in Harney County, where the eastern boundary of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge meets the arid expanse of Coyote Flat. Surveyed in the mid-1960s with updates through 1980, the map illustrates the managed hydrology of the region, featuring a complex of canals and ditches alongside the Blitzen and Donner und Blitzen rivers. Near the northern margin, the Malheur Job Corps Conservation Center and an adjacent Trailer Park indicate localized federal activity and habitation amidst the volcanic terrain. Distinctive landmarks like Coyote Buttes, Saddle Butte, and Rattlesnake Butte provide vertical relief above the white expanse of Alkali Flats. The presence of several Cinder Pits and a Radio Tower suggests the intersection of natural resource extraction and modern infrastructure in this remote Oregon basin.
