2017 Map of Fandango Canyon

About this map

Christmas Lake Valley defines the northeastern reaches of this high desert terrain, where a grid of rural roads like Cascad Ln and Fermac Rd meets the rising elevations of the Oregon interior. The landscape is characterized by a series of high points and depressions that manage scarce water resources, centered around Saint Patrick Mountain and Juniper Top. The presence of numerous man-made water catchments, including Saint Patrick Mountain Reservoir Number 4, O'Leary Reservoir Number 4, and Horse Corral Reservoir, illustrates the vital infrastructure required for ranching and land management in this arid environment. To the north, the terrain drops into Fandango Canyon, while natural features like Post Lake and Ward Lake offer seasonal water sources. This 2017 survey provides a clear look at the intersection of local transportation routes like Christmas Valley Hwy and the cattle-driven economy indicated by names such as Ripper Waterhole.
