2017 Map of Christmas Lake

About this map

Christmas Lake and the surrounding Christmas Lake Valley form the heart of this high-desert landscape in central Oregon. The terrain is defined by its wide, flat basins and isolated rises such as Bunchgrass Butte in the north. This 2017 survey reveals a grid of rural routes and family-named roads that crisscross the valley floor, hinting at the agricultural and ranching legacy of the region. Notable corridors include Fossil Lake Rd and Stonehouse Rd, which connect the scattered properties across the sagebrush-covered plains. The presence of Lost Forest Ln points toward the unique Ponderosa pine grove found just beyond the map's eastern edge, while the playa of Christmas Lake itself serves as a central landmark for this arid environment.
