About this map

Guano Cr and its northern branch, Guano Crk, carve through this high desert terrain in Lake County, Oregon. The landscape is defined by its seasonal water sources and intermittent basins, such as Jacobs Reservoir and the uniquely named Fortyfour Lake. This 2014 survey documents a network of named flats and depressions, including Spanish Flat and Wire Corral Flat, which suggest a history of range management and livestock grazing.

Ephemeral water features like Squib Waterhole and Wagner Waterhole highlight the arid nature of the region, where every named pool serves as a critical landmark. Higher ground is marked by Cat Butte, overlooking a series of shallow basins like Mound Lake and Long Lake. The map provides a detailed view of the Bureau of Land Management's township and range divisions, illustrating how this remote corner of Oregon has been partitioned for public and private land use.
