1991 Map of Levey NE

About this map

The Juniper Dunes Wilderness dominates the southwestern corner of this landscape, where shifting sands meet the agricultural corridors of Franklin County. Surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey in the early 1990s, the map reveals a transition from the protected dunes to the managed lands of Rye Grass Flat. The Snake River carves through the northeast, its path followed by the Snake River Road. This area is characterized by an extensive network of rural infrastructure, including Haverland Koontz Road and several pipelines that traverse the coulees. Named topographic features like East Blackman Ridge and Rye Grass Coulee define the drainage patterns leading toward the river. Scattered agricultural outposts are evidenced by a corral, various water tanks, and storage bins near Hockett Lane, marking the persistent human footprint on this semi-arid terrain.
