2020 Map of Coyote Gap

About this map

Catlow Valley dominates this high desert landscape in Harney County, characterized by its wide basin and distinct topographical transitions. A defining human mark on the terrain is the historic corridor of the Old Military Rd, which cuts across the northern reaches of the quadrangle. This route represents a significant era of frontier transportation, linking remote outposts across the Great Basin. The terrain is further defined by Coyote Gap, a natural passage where the elevation changes abruptly between the valley floor and the surrounding uplands. The mapping captures a moment of modern land management, showing the precise township and range boundaries that continue to organize this sparsely populated region of southeastern Oregon.
