2023 Map of Redess

About this map

Wrights Point rises as a distinct topographical bench above the wetlands and braided waterways of the Harney Basin. This landscape is defined by the complex hydrology of the East Fork Silvies River and West Fork Silvies River, which feed into an intricate network of sloughs including Boat Ford Slough, McRae Slough, and Embree Slough. The intricate water management system is further detailed through the Big Red S Canal and Ausmus Canal, supporting agricultural operations like the Big Red S Field. Local history and genealogy are centered near Sunset Valley Ln, where the Sunset Valley Cem provides a fixed point of reference for the families who settled this high desert region. The map also traces established ranching routes such as Island Ranch Rd and Embree Bridge Rd, connecting scattered locales like Little Red S Fields across the basin floor.
