2020 Map of Commodore Ridge

About this map

Abert Rim dominates the western edge of this Lake County landscape, where the high-elevation basin meets a series of critical seasonal water sources. The map records a complex network of ephemeral lakes and waterholes essential for livestock and wildlife, including Little Skookum Lake, Skookum Lake, and Foley Lake. The topography is defined by the namesake Commodore Ridge and the drainage patterns of Foley Cr and Rabbit Cr, which traverse the high desert terrain. Human infrastructure is limited to remote access routes like Hogback Rd and Corn Lake Rd, serving isolated points such as the Hard Pan Reservoir and Draw Fork Waterhole. This survey provides a precise account of the hydrography and public land divisions within the high plateau region of southern Oregon.
