1981 Map of Miranda Flat SE

About this map

The arid high desert of Harney County is defined by its subtle drainage patterns and isolated water sources in this 1981 survey. A notable landmark in this sparse landscape is the Pipeline Well, a critical point for infrastructure and livestock in an area otherwise dominated by expansive Depression landforms. The terrain consists of intricate contouring that illustrates the basin-and-range geography of eastern Oregon, where movement is limited to rugged 4wd tracks and unimproved trails. This edition reflects the land as it was documented through aerial photography in 1974 and field-checked in 1977, capturing a snapshot of the region's ranching and utility footprint before the digital era.
