2011 Map of Rome State Airport

About this map

The high desert terrain of Malheur County dominates this 2011 survey, where the vast, unpopulated landscape is defined by its subtle topographical shifts and drainage patterns. The most prominent human-made landmark in this corner of the state is the Rome State Airport, which serves as a vital transit point in a region otherwise characterized by extreme isolation. A single north-south road corridor skirts the eastern edge of the quadrangle, representing the primary terrestrial link through this part of the Oregon desert. The map captures the area as it was recorded at the start of the second decade of the 21st century, showing a environment where natural features far outweigh human infrastructure.
