About this map

New Princeton anchors this high-desert landscape in Harney County, where the agricultural and ranching infrastructure of the basin meets dramatic geological rises. The settlement is positioned along a network of rural routes including Lava Bed Rd and Narrows-Princeton Rd, illustrating the importance of road connectivity in this expansive region. To the north, the terrain is defined by distinct landmarks such as Windy Point and Pelican Point, with the Windy Point Cem serving as a significant site for local genealogical research.

Water management is central to the area's utility, evidenced by the Oron Thompson Reservoir tucked into the hills. The eastern portion of the survey is characterized by unique topographical features like Long Hollow and the Beaver Tables, while to the south, Malheur Gap and Hatt Butte mark the transition into the volcanic-influenced terrain typical of the Oregon interior. The grid of the Public Land Survey System, including t26s r34e, remains the primary organizational framework for these large land tracts.
