2014 Map of Folly Farm

About this map

Folly Farm sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape on the border of Harney and Malheur counties. The settlement is positioned along Or-78, surrounded by wide alluvial features like Folly Farm Flat and the expansive Sunrise Valley. To the south, the terrain rises into the Sheepshead Mountains, cut by the deep Renwick Canyon. The area’s hydrology is defined by seasonal water features and managed resources, including Porcupine Reservoir and the Duck Creek Lakebed, while smaller water sources like Summit Springs and Black Bull Spring punctuate the arid surroundings. This 2014 survey reveals a territory shaped by ranching and state infrastructure, where the Crowley-Riverside Rd intersects with the local geography at Baker Pass. The map also includes the Turnbull WLS, highlighting the mix of private land use and state-monitored areas characteristic of Southeastern Oregon.
