1959 Map of Harney

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Fort Harney (Site) marks a significant historical anchor in the northeastern corner of this landscape, situated just below the southern boundary of the Malheur National Forest. The map captures a transition from the rugged highlands of Devine Ridge to the complex hydrological network of the valley floor. Water management is a primary theme of the era, evidenced by the Hanley Upper Canal and the meandering channels of the Silvies River and Poison Creek. Local infrastructure is well-defined by the Burns Airport and the tracks of the Union Pacific railroad. Genealogists and local historians can trace family-named landmarks like Petersen Spring, Embree, and Chapman, while terrain features such as Sand Hill and Foley Slough provide a detailed look at the region's natural drainage before significant modern development.
