About this map

New Princeton and its local post office serve as the primary human landmark in this section of the Harney Valley, documented during a 1980s field check. The landscape is defined by the sharp contrast between the flat valley floor and the elevated plateau of the Beaver Tables to the east. Transportation and settlement patterns follow the base of these heights, where the Windy Point Cem sits near the base of the prominent Windy Point.

Geological features such as Hatt Butte and the Malheur Gap indicate the ancient volcanic and water-carved history of the region. The map captures the infrastructure of the late 20th-century high desert, showing the transition from the irrigated reaches of the valley into the drainage of Long Hollow. This record is particularly useful for identifying property locations and public landmarks in this corner of Harney County.
