1981 Map of Fort Rock

About this map

Fort Rock State Monument dominates the northern landscape of this Lake County quadrangle, situated within the wider Fort Rock Valley. The map documents a sparsely populated high-desert environment in the late 1970s and early 1980s, where water management is central to the settlement pattern. A network of family-named water sources such as Gauldin Well, Sprague Well, and Thomas Well are scattered across the valley floor, supporting the rural community centered on Fort Rock. The presence of the Community Seeding Well suggests specific agricultural or land-management efforts of the era.
