About this map

Crooked Creek Valley serves as the central corridor for this 2017 study of Lake County, where high-desert water management defines the landscape. The map reveals a complex network of man-made water features, including White Rock Reservoirs, Cory Reservoir, and the Upper Reservoir and Lower Reservoir systems, all of which are vital to supporting this arid region. These features, along with Wilson Ditch, illustrate the continued importance of irrigation and water storage in Eastern Oregon.

Elevated terrain is marked by Fisk Hill and several important water sources such as Fawn Spring, Colbert Spring, and Basin Spring. The area is largely managed by federal agencies, with the Fremont National Forest covering much of the eastern and northern portions, while the Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge occupies the southwestern corner. Transportation through the valley is facilitated by Co HWY 2-13 and the Southern Oregon Intertie Trail, highlighting the remote yet connected nature of these public lands.
