2017 Map of Coyote Gap

About this map

Old Military Rd cuts across the northern landscape of this high desert terrain, marking a historic transportation corridor through eastern Oregon. The topographic detail is dominated by the dramatic descent into Catlow Valley, where the steep escarpment is punctuated by the geographic notch of Coyote Gap. This survey captures the drainage patterns and playa features typical of the region, including the ephemeral waters of Garrison Lake on the valley floor. The map provides a clear look at the public land survey system grid, showing the township and range lines that structured settlement and ranching in this corner of Harney County.
