About this map

Diamond Craters dominates the southeastern quadrant of this Harney County landscape, showcasing a complex volcanic field with unique geological formations. The western portion of the map is defined by the hydrologic network of the Donner und Blitzen River and the Busse Canal, which feed into the extensive wetlands and marshes characteristic of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge area.

Human activity is concentrated along established corridors like the Narrows-Princeton Rd and Center Patrol Rd. Local markers such as Sodhouse point to the area's ranching and homesteading history. The survey illustrates the intersection of high desert terrain and managed water resources, where desert roads like N Alk and E Squaw navigate the space between basaltic volcanic features and the basin's riparian zones.
