2024 Map of Blizzard Gap

About this map

Blizzard Gap and the high elevation of Greaser Ridge dominate this corner of Lake County, where water management is the primary marker of human intervention. The landscape is defined by a series of catchment systems, including L J H Reservoir, East Barry Reservoir, and Big Hole Reservoir, which capture runoff in an otherwise arid basin. These features, along with several named springs like Hill Camp Spring and Rosebriar Spring, suggest a history of seasonal grazing and livestock management in the high desert of Oregon.
