2023 Map of Surveyors Lake

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Surveyors Lake and the seasonally fluctuating Shallow Lake define this high-desert basin in Harney County. The landscape is characterized by its isolation and subtle elevation changes, where primitive access routes like D L Spring Rd and Nat For Dev Rd 6176 navigate between volcanic landforms. The presence of Butcher Flat in the southeastern corner suggests a rare expanse of level ground amidst the undulating contours. This recent survey reflects the contemporary state of these remote water features, documenting the drainage patterns and access roads essential for managing public lands. Genealogists or historians interested in the grazing history of the Oregon interior will find these specific family-named or utilitarian landmarks useful for identifying historic range boundaries and water rights in a traditionally arid region.
