2014 Map of Cabin Lake

About this map

Deschutes National Forest encompasses the northern half of this landscape, where the volcanic geology of Lake County is evident in prominent landmarks. The volcanic history is anchored by Flat Top in the northwest and Reub Long Butte to the south, while Ft Rock stands near the edge of the expansive Fort Rock Valley. Water is a scarce and vital resource in this high desert environment, represented by the namesake Cabin Lake near the forest boundary. The map documents a network of forest and access roads, including Cabin Lake Rd and various Bureau of Land Management routes like BLM 6149-80, which served the local ranching and forestry needs of the early 21st century. This survey provides a clear view of the transition from protected forest lands to the open basins of the high desert floor.
