1968 Map of Lake Abert South

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Abert Rim dominates the landscape of this 1968 survey, forming a massive basalt escarpment that towers over the eastern shore of Lake Abert. This dramatic geological formation creates a sharp vertical boundary between the high desert plateau and the alkaline basin below. Along the base of the rim, the Chewaucan River enters the lake near the Johnson Ranch, indicating the vital role of limited water sources for cattle ranching in this arid region of Lake County. Higher elevations on the plateau feature a network of seasonal water bodies and landmarks including Colvin Timbers, Mule Lake, and Paddys Lake. The reliance on natural springs is evident through names like Webb Springs, which served as critical stops for those navigating the numerous Jeep Trails and paths that crisscross the sagebrush-covered terrain east of the rim.
