2011 Map of Egypt Canyon

About this map

Egypt Canyon and Egypt Creek define the western reaches of this high-desert landscape in Harney County, Oregon. This 2011 survey illustrates a territory primarily structured by forest service access and historical range routes, where water sources like Badger Spring and Stinger Creek served as essential landmarks for navigation and land management. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations such as Green Butte, which overlooks a dense network of numbered and named secondary roads. Named routes like Gus Well Rd, Donnelly Rd, and Beaver Slide Rd suggest a history of ranching, timber access, or recreational use within the national forest system. The presence of Lost Spring Rd and Curly Canyon Rd points to the specific local nomenclature used by those who worked and traversed this part of the Oregon backcountry in the early 21st century.
