2020 Map of Dry Valley Rim

About this map

Dry Valley Rim dominates the central topography of this Harney County landscape, creating a distinct escarpment that separates the elevated plateau from the lower basin of Dry Valley. This 2020 survey illustrates a sparsely developed section of Oregon high desert, where water features such as Juniper Cr and Corn Lake are critical markers in an otherwise arid environment. The map details a network of access routes, including Dry Valley Rd and Rawhide Spring Rd, which facilitate movement through the rugged canyonlands. To the southeast, the terrain descends into Rawhide Canyon, highlighting the complex drainage patterns and relief that define this region. The absence of established towns or permanent structures emphasizes the area's use for open-range activities and land management within the various township and range sections.
