About this map

Flybee Lake and Flynn Lake sit at the center of this High Desert landscape in Harney County, where seasonal water sources and named depressions define the remote geography. The terrain is marked by distinct geological features such as Deep Canyon and the evocatively named Smoky Hollow and Devils Canyon. This 2020 survey illustrates a land primarily managed for water resources, featuring several designated waterholes like Open Valley Waterhole Number Three and Open Valley Waterhole.

The presence of the Hole in Rocks landmark and the wide expanse of Open Valley suggest a landscape used historically for grazing, where every natural basin and catch-point is vital. The map provides a clear look at the township and range boundaries that organize this section of southeastern Oregon, from t28s r27e to t30s r28e, essential for researchers tracking land patents and property history in the region.
