About this map

Huntington sits at the northeastern corner of this map, positioned where the Burnt River flows through high desert terrain. The area's transportation and industrial infrastructure are clearly marked, showing the path of the Union Pacific railroad and essential utility corridors. To the south, the landscape is defined by a series of prominent peaks and drainages, including Lost Tom Mountain, Striped Mountain, and Brosman Mountain.

Evidence of local resource extraction is found at the Cinder Pit near Durbin and a Gravel Pit along the upper gulches. The boundary between Baker and Malheur counties bisects the rugged territory, which is dotted with seasonal springs and ephemeral watercourses like Birch Creek and Chicken Creek. Genealogists may find interest in the local cemetery located just south of the town center, while the presence of the McDowell Butte Reservoir reflects the critical management of water in this arid environment.
