2011 Map of Harney

About this map

Harney and its surrounding high-desert landscape are defined by a complex network of seasonal drainage and canyon systems in this 2011 survey. The settlement is situated near the Harney Cemetery at the intersection of several local routes, including Old Fort Harney Rd and Reed Rd. The terrain is deeply inscribed by watercourses such as Mill Creek, Coffeepot Creek, and Rattlesnake Creek, which descend from the northern highlands toward the valley floor. To the east, the landscape becomes increasingly irregular with the presence of Mortimer Canyon, Davis Gulch, and the Mortimer Canyon Reservoir. This map documents a sparsely populated region where infrastructure is concentrated along the historic road network, serving isolated outposts like Harris Pl. The mapping detail captures the essential water sources for this arid environment, ranging from Shellrock Spring to the various forks of Cow Creek.
