About this map

Flagstaff Lake and its surrounding wetlands dominate this 2014 survey of Lake County, where high desert plateaus meet the expansive basin of the Warner Valley. The landscape is defined by its interior drainage system, featuring a chain of ephemeral and permanent water bodies including Mugwump Lake, Swamp Lake, and Upper Campbell Lake. These waters are set against the striking verticality of Hart Mtn and the Rabbit Hills, illustrating the Great Basin's characteristic basin-and-range topography.

Local navigation relies on a network of unpaved routes such as Flagstaff Lake Rd and Hart Mountain Rd, which provide access to remote landmarks like Mulkey Canyon. This map preserves the 21st-century state of this specialized ecosystem, where seasonal flows like Juniper Cr drain into Anderson Lake and the broader valley floor, maintaining a habitat that has historically sustained both wildlife and ranching operations.
