2011 Map of Dunnean

About this map

The South Fork Malheur River winds through this high-desert region of Harney County, serving as the primary geographic corridor for both water management and settlement. Near its banks, the community of Dunnean and the Doman Ranch represent the sparse but vital human footprint in this arid landscape. The reliance on water resources is evident through features like Carey Reservoir, Cables Ditch, and isolated water sources such as Rock Spring and McEwen Spring. To the north, the elevation rises toward Buck Mountain, while the southern reaches are defined by the convergence of Swamp Creek and the river. The presence of Crane-Venator Rd highlights the essential overland routes that connect these remote ranching outposts to the wider region during the early 21st century.
