2020 Map of Adel

About this map

Adel sits at the base of the dramatic Lynchs Rim, where the high desert plateau of Lake County drops sharply into the Warner Valley. This 2020 survey illustrates a complex water management landscape centered around Pelican Lake and the Crump Reservoir, connected by man-made features like the Crump Ditch. The presence of Crump Geyser underscores the geothermal activity unique to this corner of Oregon. To the west, the terrain rises through Sweeney Canyon and Gibson Canyon toward high-elevation landmarks such as Squaw Flat and the Bitter Brush Basin. A network of isolated water sources, including Sweeney Waterhole and Bug Waterhole, highlights the importance of seasonal hydrology in this arid region, while the southern edge is defined by the massive basaltic uplift of the South Warner Rim.
