2014 Map of Coyote Gap

About this map

Coyote Gap serves as a prominent geographical pass through the escarpment that transitions between the high desert plateaus and the broad expanse of the Catlow Valley in southeastern Oregon. This 2014 survey documents a land defined by high relief and seasonal hydrology, where Garrison Lake sits on the eastern edge of the quadrangle. A significant historical trace is preserved in the northwest corner, where the Old Military Rd cuts across the sagebrush-covered terrain. The map's detailed topography reveals the dramatic descent from the upland rims into the valley floor, illustrating the natural corridors used for travel in this arid corner of Harney County.
