2020 Map of Harney

About this map

Harney serves as the focal point of this high-desert landscape in Harney County, situated where the open flats of the south meet the rising timber of the Malheur National Forest to the north. The area's settlement history is anchored by the Harney Cem, while the rugged drainage patterns of Coffeepot Cr and the various forks of Rattlesnake Cr define the local topography. This map highlights the transition from the pastoral Cow Creek Valley to the more confined spaces of Tudor Canyon and Mortimer Canyon. The presence of Mortimer Canyon Reservoir and scattered water sources like Shellrock Spring underscores the critical importance of water management in this arid Oregon environment. Local roads such as Harney Rd and Point Shyla Rd trace the paths through the high plains and canyons, providing a window into modern rural land use.
