2023 Map of Fossil Lake

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Fossil Lake and the surrounding high desert terrain define this corner of Lake County, Oregon. This landscape is characterized by its internal drainage and sparse network of remote roads, including Co Hwy 5-14E and Blm Rd 6151, which navigate a complex of wetlands and dry lakebeds. The southern portion of the quadrangle opens into Christmas Lake Valley, a region where the vastness of the Great Basin is evidenced by the systematic grid of rural access routes like Five Acre Rd and Sams Way. These features imply a history of attempted settlement and land management in an environment shaped by ancient lake levels and modern arid conditions. Local landmarks such as Ruppel Rd and Oster-Farm Rd hint at the agricultural footprint found within this isolated basin.
