2011 Map of Adel

About this map

Adel serves as the focal point of this high-desert ranching landscape in Lake County, situated where Deep Creek flows toward the extensive wetlands of the Warner Valley. The map documents a geography defined by its water sources and family legacies, featuring numerous livestock-supporting landmarks such as Wakefield Waterhole and Bug Waterhole. The concentration of established operations like Rogers Ranch, Crump Ranch, and the M C Ranch illustrates the enduring importance of large-scale cattle ranching in this corner of Oregon. Geologic interest is found along the eastern edge, where Crump Geyser and Pelican Lake mark the transition into the valley floor. To the north and west, the terrain rises sharply toward Lynchs Rim and the Bitter Brush Basin, while Deep Creek Falls provides a rare navigational point along the canyon’s path toward the Adel Post Office.
