2017 Map of Miranda Flat SW
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
The Alvord Desert floor dominates this portion of Harney County, revealing a stark and highly specialized drainage pattern characteristic of the Oregon high desert. In this 2017 study, the vast alkali flat is defined by subtle topographic shifts and ephemeral hydrology, where water from Alvord Cr and Mosquito Cr enters the basin from the north and west. Human presence is concentrated along the western edge of the desert, where the Fields-Denio Rd and Alvord Ranch Ln follow the base of the rising mountains. The map provides a precise layout of the Public Land Survey System sections across t34s r34e and t35s r35e, showing how the land was partitioned even within this seemingly inhospitable playa environment.
