2011 Map of Crump Lake

About this map

Crump Lake and Hart Lake dominate this high-desert basin in southeastern Oregon, connected by a slender passage known as The Narrows. This early twenty-first-century topographic record shows the interconnected hydrology of the Warner Valley, where water flows from Fish Creek into these expansive, shallow basins. To the north, a crossing at Stone Bridge provides passage between the lakes, while the eastern horizon is defined by the steep rises of Riffle Canyon and Fisher Canyon. The map preserves the location of Calderwood Ranch on the edge of the Big Flat, reflecting the area's long-standing reliance on ranching and seasonal water sources. The landscape is characterized by its wide, flat basins and the dramatic breaks of the surrounding rims, illustrating the stark geography of Lake County.
