About this map

Goose Lake dominates the landscape of this 1964 survey, showing the fluctuating shoreline of this alkali lake in southern Oregon. The shoreline is marked by an elevation of 4701 feet, while the surrounding basin is defined by a network of drainage and water management. Numerous instances of a Flowing Well appear across the flats, particularly near the settlement of West Side, suggesting a reliance on artesian water for the cattle and agricultural operations of the era.

The hydrology of the region is further detailed through the courses of Thomas Creek and Antelope Creek in the north, while Drews Creek, Mill Creek, and Dry Creek feed into the western marshlands. A Corral and a Gravel Pit appear alongside West Side Road, documenting the rural infrastructure of Lake County. Features like Barnes Slough illustrate the complex transition between the upland drainage and the lake's edge, providing a clear record of the terrain before modern water-use shifts.
