2024 Map of Northeast Harney Lake

About this map

Malheur National Wildlife Refuge anchors the southern portion of this landscape, encompassing the alkaline waters and seasonal wetlands of Harney Lake and Mud Lake. The terrain transitions from these low-lying basins toward the elevation of Dog Mtn in the north and the expansive Sunset Valley to the east. The map records a network of established desert routes including Oo Ranch Rd, Weaver Springs Rd, and Mccanna Rd, which traverse the high desert sagebrush and volcanic features. This 2024 survey documents the hydrography and public land boundaries during a modern era of conservation management. The grid of section lines across townships like t25s r30e and t26s r31e illustrates the systematic division of this Oregon backcountry, where ranching heritage and wildlife protection intersect near the shores of the lake.
