1971 Map of Steamboat Point

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Warner Valley dominates this high-desert landscape in Harney County, where the topography transitions from the broad basin floor to the steep verticality of Steamboat Point. Surveyed in 1969 and field-checked in 1971, the map documents a remote region of southeast Oregon defined by its drainage and water management. High plateaus are carved by Kit Canyon and Orijana Canyon, while the valley floor below is marked by essential livestock water sources like Drift Fence Waterhole and Middle Lake Waterhole. The sparse infrastructure of the early 1970s is limited to a network of unimproved roads and several Jeep Trails, highlighting the isolation of Mule Springs Valley and the surrounding rimrock. This record of the land captures the character of Oregon's cattle country before modern developments altered these traditional grazing territories.
