Christmas Lake Valley sits at the heart of this high desert landscape in Lake County, Oregon. The area is defined by its arid basin topography, where the seasonal waters of Christmas Lake and the prominent rising profile of Bunchgrass Butte dominate the horizon. This 2014 survey documents the grid of agricultural and residential roads that serve the basin, including many named for local geography or early land use, such as Rock House Rd and Oster Farm Rd. The map also traces the Christmas Valley Back Country Bywy, a route designed for exploring the unique geological and ecological features of this part of the Oregon Outback. Traces of historical land management are evident in the township and range boundaries, which segment the territory into expansive sections between corridors like Lost Forest Ln and Fossil Lake Rd.
