1968 Map of Lake Abert North

About this map

Lake Abert dominates this high-desert landscape, bordered by the dramatic verticality of the Abert Rim. The 1968 survey reveals a stark environmental transition between the expansive Alkali Flat to the north and the rugged heights of Commodore Ridge to the east. Human presence is sparse, defined by the isolated locales of Myers and Leggett along the rim's base. The map captures an arid basin where water is the primary geographic driver, evidenced by Highway Spring and the seasonally variable Thorne and Wisdom Lake. Transportation is limited to a primary road hugging the eastern shoreline and a network of primitive tracks, including a Jeep Trail, that probe the high plateaus above the lake.
