About this map

Flagstaff Lake and its surrounding wetlands dominate this high-desert basin in Lake County, Oregon. This 2011 survey illustrates a dynamic hydrologic system where water bodies like Mugwump Lake, Swamp Lake, and Anderson Lake are interconnected by seasonal drainages and marshy terrain. The landscape is defined by the contrast between these shallow basins and the rising elevations of the Rabbit Hills to the northwest.

Transport through this part of the Warner Valley is facilitated by County Hwy 3-12 and Flagstaff Lake Rd, which skirt the edges of the water systems. To the southeast, Juniper Creek flows toward the basin, while the topography narrows into Mulkey Canyon. This map is a significant record of the Great Basin's hydrology before more recent shifts in water levels, providing a clear view of the area's complex drainage patterns.
