2023 Map of Buffalo Well

About this map

Christmas Lake Valley defines the northern reaches of this high-desert landscape in Lake County, where the transition from flat valley floor to elevated plateaus is marked by the prominent Burma Rim. The area's dependence on seasonal or managed water sources in an arid climate is evident through named features like South Buffalo Waterhole and Bollout Waterhole. This contemporary survey illustrates the modern road network essential for navigating the interior, including the Christmas Valley Hwy and historical routes such as the Christmas Valley Wagontire Rd. The eastern portion is dominated by the topography of Hansen Valley, where numerous BLM access roads, like Hanson Valley Rd, track through the drainage basins. The map provides a clear view of the Public Land Survey System divisions, showing the junction of Townships 27 and 28 South across Ranges 20 and 21 East.
