1983 Map of Benjamin Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The high desert landscape of Benjamin Point and the surrounding border of Deschutes Co and Lake Co is defined by its volcanic geology and strategic water management. In this 1983 edition, the terrain is marked by prominent landforms such as Yreka Butte, Harder Butte, and the Benjamin Caves. The distribution of water is critical in this environment, evidenced by named locations like Mahogany Waterhole, Hill Top Waterhole, and Great Basin Waterhole. These features, along with several ephemeral lakes including Rock Lake and Midway Lake, suggest a landscape historically utilized for livestock grazing or remote survey expeditions. Navigational access is limited primarily to 4wd tracks that cross broad plateaus such as Mahogany Flat and Trail Flat, reflecting the area's isolation during the late twentieth century.
