About this map

Hart Mountain dominates the high desert landscape in this Lake County survey, where dramatic elevation changes define the eastern Oregon terrain. The towering profile of Poker Jim Ridge overlooks a complex system of seasonal and permanent water bodies, including Stone Corral Lake and the primary Campbell Lake. These basins, along with Upper Campbell Lake, are vital water sources in this arid region, connected by intermittent flows like Willow Creek and Rock Creek.

Human presence is marked by primitive infrastructure adapted to the environment, such as Hilltop Reservoir and Paiute Reservoir. The map traces Hart Mountain Road as it winds through the basin toward Lyons Meadow, providing access to the remote Hot Springs and Valet Spring. This 2020 edition documents the contemporary state of these hydrologic features and high-altitude meadows, essential for understanding the ranching and natural history of the Great Basin.
