2020 Map of Duhaime Flat West

About this map

Duhaime Flat and the surrounding high desert of Harney County are defined by their sparse water sources and topographic relief. This 2020 landscape highlights the critical role of springs and small-scale water management in an arid environment, featuring Buckhorn Spring, Little Mud Spring, and the Mud Spring Reservoir. The terrain is marked by significant drainages such as Augustine Canyon to the northwest and Buckhorn Canyon to the southeast, which cut through the level expanses of Tucke Flat. A limited network of rural routes, including Sand Valley Augustine Rd and Duhaime Rd, provides the primary access through these remote townships, illustrating the vast, unpopulated nature of the Oregon interior where land use is dictated by the availability of water and the contours of the canyons.
