1981 Map of Tule Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Tule Springs and the surrounding high desert of Harney County are captured here in the early 1980s, revealing a landscape defined by dramatic geological depressions and scarce water sources. The map highlights the transition between the Alvord Desert Depression and the elevated terrain of the Tule Springs Rims and Howluk Butte. Evidence of early human activity and resource exploration is visible through the presence of Ruins near the springs and scattered Prospects and a Quarry on the slopes. Essential water points such as Sailor Jack Spring and Big Sand Gap Spring represent the critical nodes in this arid environment, while a network of 4wd tracks provides the primary means of navigating the gaps, including Little Sand Gap and Big Sand Gap.
