About this map

Diamond Craters dominates the northwestern portion of this Harney County landscape, showcasing a complex volcanic terrain that gives way to the agricultural and hydrologic systems of Diamond Valley. The settlement of Diamond sits at the base of the rising plateau to the east, serving as a focal point for a network of rural routes including Clemens Ranch Rd and Ham Brown Ln.

Water management is central to this high desert region, evidenced by the Diamond Canal, Highline Ditch, and numerous seasonal drainages like McCoy Cr and Cucamonga Cr. These features, alongside White Lake and the wetlands of Swamp Cr, illustrate the intricate relationship between the volcanic geology and the valley's water resources. The transition from the flatlands of Fisher Flat to the structured townships like t28s r33e underscores the remote, surveyed nature of this Oregon territory.
