2017 Map of Misery Flat

About this map

Misery Flat dominates this high desert landscape, positioned along the border between Crook and Deschutes counties. This 2017 survey reflects a sparse, arid terrain defined by the intermittent drainage of Buck Cr and a grid of secondary transport routes that serve the region's ranching interests. The presence of S E G I Rd and Schraeder Rd indicates the established land management patterns used for navigating this remote section of the High Desert. The map's detail is focused on the subtle topographic shifts of the flatlands, providing a clear record of the public land survey system lines that delineate large-scale property boundaries in this part of Oregon.
