1974 Map of Folly Farm

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Folly Farm (Site) sits at the edge of an expansive high-desert landscape where the Harney and Malheur county line crosses the arid floor of Folly Farm Flat. Recorded during the mid-1970s, this area is defined by its seasonal water sources and livestock infrastructure, including scattered dry wells, corrals, and springs like Summit Springs and Black Bull Spring. The map documents a transition from the broad, flat Barren Valley and its prominent lakebed in the northeast to the rising elevations of the Sheepshead Mountains in the south. Transportation is primarily limited to a network of jeep trails that navigate through Baker Pass and along the drainages of Lambing Canyon and Renwick Canyon. This topography reflects the remote ranching and grazing history of the region, where named features often mark essential water access or passage through the high desert breaks.
