1972 Map of Dunnean

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Dunnean stands as a focal point in this high-desert landscape of Harney County, situated where the Union Pacific railroad tracks follow the corridor of the Malheur River South Fork. The 1972 mapping reveals a terrain heavily shaped by water management and natural springs, from the Carey Reservoir to the Diversion Dam on the river. The presence of Springs (Hot) and named water sources like McEwen Spring and Rock Spring highlights the vital importance of water in this arid region, particularly for the ranching interests that utilize the numerous Jeep Trails spiderwebbing across the hills. Rising to the northeast, Buck Mountain dominates the local topography, overlooking the convergence of drainage systems such as Coleman Creek and Coyote Creek. This document captures a remote Oregon interior where industrial rail transport and pastoral water rights define the human imprint on the land.
