2014 Map of Chicago Valley

About this map

Chicago Valley and Browns Valley dominate this arid landscape in Lake County, Oregon. The terrain is defined by its vital water sources, as indicated by a dense network of named waterholes and seasonal basins. This concentration of water points, such as Juniper Waterhole, Musser Waterhole, and One Crock Waterhole, reveals the critical infrastructure required for ranching or survival in the high desert environment. The eastern edge of the quadrangle is bounded by the dramatic rise of the Stauffer Rim, while the southwest corner is marked by the prominence of Frederick Butte. Remote tracks like Benjamin Lk and the Chicago Vly road provide the primary means of navigating this expansive and sparsely settled territory, which remains subdivided by the Public Land Survey System boundaries of t24s r21e and its neighbors.
