2020 Map of Crane

About this map

Crane serves as the primary hub in this Harney County landscape, situated at the intersection of Crane Blvd and Crane-Venator Rd. The settlement is defined by a grid of local streets including Main Ave and Clyde Ave, with the Arnold Airstrip nearby supporting regional aviation. The surrounding terrain is dominated by significant volcanic and geological formations, most notably the Crane Butte and the Crane Creek Mountains to the northeast. Water management is critical to this high-desert environment, evidenced by the Cox Ditch and Crane Cut-Off which channel flows through the eastern flats. Named water sources such as McDonald Spring and Krueger Spring provide vital points in the arid hills, while the Crane Creek Gap offers a natural passage between the higher elevations of the mountains and the basin floor.
