2014 Map of Coyote Gap SE

About this map

Catlow Valley and the surrounding high desert terrain define this corner of Harney County, offering a window into the wide-open landscape of southeastern Oregon as it appeared in 2014. The topography is marked by significant natural landforms like the Basque Hills and the rugged descent into Deadman Canyon. These features reflect the remote ranching and grazing heritage of the region, where named places often denote flat expanses like Butcher Flat amidst the complex elevation changes. The map meticulously records the township and range lines, such as t37s r31e, providing a precise spatial framework for land ownership and cattle country history. This 2014 survey captures the character of the Great Basin's northern reaches, where terrain names often carry the echoes of early settlers and the environmental realities of the high desert.
