2014 Map of Surveyors Lake

About this map

Surveyors Lake sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Harney County, illustrating the remote and arid character of southeastern Oregon. The terrain is defined by dramatic contour changes and public land divisions, including portions of t37s r29e, t37s r30e, and t38s r30e. Significant geographic markers like Butcher Flat provide orientation in a region largely devoid of permanent settlements, reflecting the isolation of the Oregon outback. Human presence is primarily indicated by the inclusion of NF-6176, a forest service road that navigates the complex topography. This map captures the intersection of natural water features and the established Public Land Survey System, serving as a detailed record of the physical environment before more recent ecological shifts in the high desert basin.
