2014 Map of Wilson Butte

About this map

Wilson Butte stands as the primary landmark in this high-desert portion of Harney County, rising above a landscape defined by intermittent water sources and drainage patterns. This 2014 survey documents the hydrography of the region, including the Wildhorse Lake Reservoir and the isolated Lunch Lake. The drainage of Wilson Cr cuts through the southwest, illustrating the arid character of the Oregon interior. The map clearly delineates the Public Land Survey System grid with boundaries for t27s r26e, t27s r27e, t28s r26e, and t28s r27e, which provide a vital framework for land researchers and genealogists tracing property records in this expansive territory. The elevation contours reveal the subtle but significant volcanic topography typical of the northern Great Basin.
