2011 Map of Lake Abert South

About this map

Abert Rim dominates the eastern landscape of this high desert region in Lake County, forming a sheer escarpment that overlooks the expansive alkaline waters of Lake Abert. This 2011 survey reveals a territory defined by its water management and sparse, critical resources, where seasonal drainages like Rabbit Creek and Snyder Creek feed into small, named catchments. The naming convention of remote sites such as Fish Creek Waterhole Number Forty and Fish Creek Waterhole Number Forty-seven suggests a landscape meticulously cataloged for ranching or land management. Smaller water bodies like Mule Lake, Paddys Lake, and Spawn Reservoir are scattered across the basin, while Webb Springs provides a rare point of natural outflow. This map provides a detailed view of the rugged topography east of the lake, tracing the intricate network of draws and seasonal pools.
