About this map

Warner Valley dominates this high-desert basin, where a series of shallow lakes and expansive wetlands create a distinct hydrological landscape in Lake County. The waters of Flagstaff Lake, Mugwump Lake, Swamp Lake, and Anderson Lake fill the low-lying reaches of the valley floor, reflecting the seasonal and ephemeral nature of the Oregon interior. To the west, the Rabbit Hills rise above the valley, while the eastern edge is defined by the dramatic ascent toward Hart Mtn.

Remote transportation routes like Flagstaff Lake Rd and Hart Mountain Rd cross the terrain, linking the basin to the steep topography of Mulkey Canyon. This survey illustrates the intricate network of townships and ranges, including t34s r25e, that organize this sparsely populated cattle and wildlife country. The map documents the character of the Great Basin's northern edge, where the relationship between water and topography dictates the geography of the region.
