2011 Map of Duhaime Flat East

About this map

Tucker Place and Miller Place represent the sparse human footprint across this high-desert region of Harney County, illustrating the isolated ranching and homesteading patterns typical of the Oregon interior. The landscape is defined by broad topographic features such as Duhaime Flat and Tucker Flat, where water management is critical to the local economy. Evidence of these efforts is seen in the placement of Meadow Flat Reservoir and Macs Reservoir, which capture runoff in an otherwise arid environment. The terrain rises to Rock Creek Point in the south, while the low-lying Sand Hollow and the vast Desert Field suggest the seasonal nature of water and grazing in this remote corner of the state. This 2011 survey captures the area just as modern digital mapping standards were being refined, preserving the locations of these named family places and essential water resources.
