About this map

Ana Reservoir and the Ana River Dam control the flow of water through this high desert landscape of Lake County, where the desert floor meets the northern edges of Summer Lake. The presence of several established agricultural outposts, such as River Ranch, Carlon Ranch, and Thousand Springs Ranch, indicates a long-standing reliance on the local hydrography and springs for cattle and land management.

A significant portion of the western terrain is dedicated to the Summer Lake Game Mgt Area, highlighting the region's importance for wildlife and conservation. Isolated water features like Schoolhouse Lake and Buckhorn Spring provide critical points of interest in an otherwise arid expanse, while the outlier Lost Cabin hints at the solitary nature of early rural life in this part of Oregon. Transportation is centered on County Hwy 4-17, which connects these remote ranches to the wider region.
