About this map

Wrights Point rises as a distinct, elevated landform above the low-lying wetlands of the Harney Basin in this 2014 survey. The landscape is defined by the intricate distributary network of the Silvies River as it approaches its terminus, branching into the West Fork Silvies River and East Fork Silvies River. This hydrologic complexity is further illustrated by numerous slow-moving channels such as McRae Slough, Boat Ford Slough, and Embree Slough.

Agricultural development in the region is evident through an extensive system of water management, including the Big Red S Canal and Ausmus Canal, which service the Big Red S Field and Little Red S Fields. The map documents the rural settlement of Redess and provides a point of interest for genealogists at the Sunset Valley Cemetery, located along Or-205 near the southern boundary. Local transit is facilitated by primitive routes like Island Ranch Lane and Dog Mountain Lane.
