2017 Map of Cougar Mountain

About this map

Fort Rock Valley dominates the southern reaches of this landscape in Lake County, Oregon. The terrain is defined by the prominent elevation of Cougar Mtn in the southeast and the distinctive volcanic features of The Devils Garden to the north. This 2017 survey illustrates a high-desert environment where human infrastructure is sparse, limited primarily to a grid of rural access routes like Webster Rd, Soto Rd, and Soto W. The map documents the precise Public Land Survey System divisions across Townships 24 and 25 South, capturing a moment in time before further shifts in land use or nomenclature. These surveyed lines provide a essential framework for understanding property boundaries and access in this expansive section of the Oregon interior.
