About this map

Mann Lake serves as a central landmark in this high-desert basin of Harney County, where water sources dictate the placement of human improvements. The map documents scattered ranching infrastructure like Sullivan Corral and the Mann Lake Cabin, positioned near seasonal drainage systems such as Sullivan Creek. The landscape is defined by its arid hydrology, featuring named springs like Strode Springs, Barrel Springs, and Big Springs, which have long been vital for livestock in this remote corner of Oregon.

Transportation is primarily represented by the Fields-Denio Rd, which runs along the base of the rising terrain to the east. Distinctive geographic features include the geological depression known as Hole in the Ground and the higher elevations of Stonehouse Canyon. This survey captures a moment in the early 21st century when the basin's character remained primarily defined by its meadows and isolated water points.
