2017 Map of Coyote Lake East

About this map

Coyote Lake and its vast alkaline basin dominate the western reaches of this Malheur County landscape. The high desert terrain shifts from the flat, seasonal lakebed into the rising elevations of the Crooked Creek Range to the east. This 2017 survey documents a remote portion of the Oregon desert defined by the Public Land Survey System grid, including corners for t34s r37e and t35s r38e. The cartography emphasizes the stark isolation of the Great Basin, where contour lines tightly gather along the western slopes of the range, providing a clear record of the area's drainage patterns and topographic relief before the desert floor levels out into the expansive playa.
