2023 Map of Devine Ridge North

About this map

Malheur National Forest dominates this section of the High Desert, where the rugged topography of Harney County is defined by steep drainages and isolated springs. The landscape transition from the high point at Gobblers Knob down into Devine Canyon illustrates the complex hydrology of the region, featuring an extensive network of seasonal and perennial water sources including Strawberry Creek and Roach Creek. Settled openings like Williams Field and Crow Flat suggest historical grazing or agricultural use amidst the timbered ridges. Genealogists and local historians can trace family names through landmarks like Van Zandt Meadows and numerous water points such as Larsen Spring and Abraham Spring. The map also details the narrow canyons of Theimer Canyon and the prominent volcanic spine of Devine Ridge, providing a clear record of the area's natural boundaries and remote water access points.
