About this map

The high desert landscape of Lake County, Oregon, is recorded here through the lens of a mid-1980s U.S. Geological Survey provisional study. The terrain is dominated by the broad uplift of Horse Mountain, where vital water sources like Horse Mtn Spring and Brim Well are noted against the arid backdrop. These features were crucial nodes for survival and livestock management in this high-elevation plateau region.

Evidence of historical transit and modern utility infrastructure cross the map, including the Wagontire Road and a prominent Steel Tower Transmission Line. The small settlement of Sherrill stands as a focal point for researchers of local Lake County history. This 1984 edition, compiled from 1980 aerial photography, captures a transitional era of land use where historic cattle routes and remote springs coexist with regional energy corridors and a Pipeline.
