About this map

Wrights Point rises as a prominent landmark above the flat expanse of Harney Valley, a landscape defined by an intricate network of waterways and managed agricultural fields in the late 20th century. The complex hydrology of the high desert is visible in the branching paths of the East Fork Silvies River and West Fork Silvies River, which feed into various sloughs like Ford Slough and Boat Slough. Human activity in this arid basin is centered around livestock and ranching, evidenced by the Island Ranch and large tracts such as the Big Red S Field and Little Red S Fields. Evidence of earlier habitation persists at the Redess (Site) and the Sunset Valley Cem within the southern Sunset Valley area, providing specific locations for researchers tracking the lineage of families and homesteads in this part of Harney County.
