About this map

Deschutes National Forest lands dominate the northern landscape of this Lake County quadrangle, where the terrain is punctuated by distinctive volcanic and geological formations. The northern high ground is anchored by the broad plateau of Flat Top, while the southern reaches descend into the Fort Rock Valley. This area is characterized by a sparse network of forest and bureau roads, including Natl Forest Develop Road 2435 Rd and BLM Rd 6149-00, which provide access to this isolated interior.

Water features are rare in this arid environment, making the namesake Cabin Lake a significant landmark for local history and wildlife. Further south, the map identifies the prominent outcrop of Fort Rock and the nearby Reub Long Butte, named for a notable local rancher and conservationist. The grid of forest development and county routes like Co Hwy 5-11 and the uniquely named The W Way illustrate the infrastructure supporting land management and rural access in the early 21st century.
