Alkali Buttes rise above the high desert floor in this 2014 survey of Lake County, Oregon. The landscape is characterized by its arid, endorheic basins and volcanic elevations, notably Doughtnut Mountain and the expansive Poverty Basin to the northwest. This modern topographic record captures the specific hydrological conditions of the era, including the seasonal waters of N Alkali Lake and isolated water sources like Harmon Spg. The map provides a precise look at the township and range survey system, documenting the remote road network including Four Corners Wls and tracks skirting the base of Horse Mtn. It is a vital record for understanding land use and water management in one of Oregon’s most sparsely populated high-plateau regions.
