About this map

Luce Reservoir and the North Coyote Hills Reservoir anchor this high-desert landscape in Lake County, defining a region where water management is central to the terrain. A sophisticated network of irrigation infrastructure is visible, including the extensive Fitzgerald Ditches, Luce Ditch, Priday Ditch, and Allen Ditch. These man-made channels diverge from natural watercourses like Honey Cr and Snyder Cr, illustrating the historical effort to divert seasonal runoff for agricultural or ranching use. The drainage patterns of Juniper Spring Draw and Colvin Cr in the north transition into the southern basins of Fort Cr and McDowell Cr, showing the complex hydrologic character of the Oregon outback. The map preserves the exact alignment of these historical water rights and land divisions within the Public Land Survey System.
