2011 Map of Cougar Mountain

About this map

The Devils Garden occupies the northern reaches of this high-desert landscape in Lake County, where lava flows and volcanic formations dictate the character of the terrain. The map captures a largely uninhabited and primitive expanse at the start of the twenty-first century, defined by its geological features rather than human settlement. In the southeast, Cougar Mountain rises as a prominent landmark, overlooking a network of unpaved tracks and local access routes. Civil infrastructure is limited to the intersection of County Hwy-5 11B and County Hwy-5 11C, which serve as the primary conduits through this section of the Oregon high desert. The sparse distribution of man-made features reflects the area's isolation and its primary role as a landscape of natural study and geological interest.
