About this map

Diablo Peak and the surrounding high desert of Lake County define this landscape, where steep topography meets isolated water sources. The prominent Diablo Rim runs through the center of the survey, separating the higher elevations of Diablo Mtn from the lower basins to the east. This 2014 mapping reveals a region where seasonal and permanent water features like Murphys Lake, W Whiskey Lake, and Ship Reservoir are critical landmarks in an otherwise arid environment.

Evidence of the area's cattle-ranching and land-management history is found in place names such as Jackings Hole and the orientation of access routes like Ten Mile Butte. The elevation changes are significant, ranging from the Whiskey Hills and Whiskey Mtn in the northeast to the distinctive Fourmile Point in the southwest. This geographic detail is essential for understanding the natural barriers and livestock movement patterns across this section of the Oregon outback.
