2017 Map of Lake Abert North

About this map

Abert Rim dominates the eastern landscape of this map, presenting a steep escarpment that towers over the alkaline waters of Lake Abert. This high desert terrain is defined by the sharp vertical relief between the lake's basin and the plateau above, a characteristic feature of the Oregon Outback's basin and range geology. Human movement through this environment is concentrated along the narrow strip between the water and the cliff face, where U.S. Route 395 follows the shoreline. This transit corridor passes Highway Spring, a small water source located at the base of the cliffs. The map illustrates the sparse, high-altitude desert environment where the vast expanse of the lake meets the dramatic uplift of the rim, offering a detailed look at the township and range divisions of Lake County.
