About this map

Whiskey Hills and the dramatic Diablo Rim dominate this high-desert landscape in Lake County, Oregon. This mid-1980s provisional survey focuses on the sparse but vital water resources essential for life in the arid basin-and-range country. Scattered across the terrain are several ephemeral basins and livestock water sources, including the central Bull Lake, as well as Whiskey Lake and East Whiskey Lake situated near the western hills.

The presence of uniquely named features such as Broken Coffee Pot Waterhole, Sheep Rock Waterhole, and King Dogs Waterhole reflects the ranching history and localized geography of the region. These sites, along with Four Draws Waterhole, indicate a terrain managed for grazing where permanent settlements are absent but specific landmarks provide critical orientation points for land users and surveyors alike.
