About this map

Adel serves as the central hub of this high-desert ranching landscape, situated at the base of the towering Lynchs Rim. The 1968 survey reveals a community defined by its remote location and water resources, with the Adel Sch and a local Landing Strip supporting the residents of the Warner Valley. Long-standing agricultural operations are mapped throughout the basin, including the Crump Ranch, Rogers Ranch, O Keeffe Ranch, and Mc Ranch, demonstrating the vital role of private landholdings in this arid terrain.

The hydrologic character of the region is punctuated by unique features like Crump Geyser and Deep Creek Falls, while the massive Crump Reservoir and Pelican Lake dominate the valley floor. Steep verticality defines the area, from the dramatic drop of the South Warner Rim to the winding depths of Sweeney Canyon and Gibson Gulch. This map provides a clear record of the infrastructure used to manage this territory, from Jeep Trails to the Pumping Stations near the valley lakes.
