2023 Map of Wilson Butte

About this map

Wilson Butte anchors this high-desert landscape in Harney County, rising above a network of drainages and seasonal water features. The terrain is defined by the sharp relief of the butte and the presence of Wildhorse Lake Reservoir in the western reaches of the quadrangle. Flowing south from the reservoir, the seasonal path of Wilson Creek cuts through the Public Land Survey System grids of t27s r26e and t28s r26e. This 2023 survey illustrates the sparse, high-elevation character of this corner of Oregon, where water management and topography dictate the land use. The map provides a detailed view of the township and range boundaries, including t27s r27e and t28s r27e, which are essential for property and resource tracking in this expansive environment.
