2020 Map of Fandango Canyon

About this map

Christmas Lake Valley defines the northern reaches of this landscape, where the Christmas Valley Hwy meets a grid of local roads including Carrico Rd and S Gloria Rd. The terrain transitions from these settled flats into the elevated topography of the Fandango Canyon and the high point at Juniper Top. This area of Lake County is characterized by a complex network of water management features essential for high-desert land use. Numerous reservoirs and waterholes are scattered across the southern sections, such as O'Leary Reservoir Number 4, Oletay Reservoir, and Horse Corral Reservoir. The presence of these named sites, along with Ripper Waterhole and North Saint Patrick Reservoir, indicates the historical importance of seasonal water catchment for ranching or agricultural efforts in the region's interior.
