2017 Map of Miranda Flat SE

About this map

Harney County's high desert landscape is defined here by the systematic grid of the Public Land Survey System, a fundamental framework for Western land ownership. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details the convergence of four major township blocks, including T34s R35e, T34s R36e, T35s R35e, and T35s R36e. The map illustrates the complex drainage patterns and elevation changes across this arid region, providing a modern baseline for understanding the physical geography of southeastern Oregon. While contemporary in its production, the document preserves the legal boundaries established during the initial settlement of the region, making it an essential reference for land management and environmental study in the Great Basin.
