2017 Map of Lane Lake

About this map

Fort Rock Valley dominates this high desert landscape in central Lake County, characterized by a sparse network of long-distance rural roads and intermittent water sources. The map provides a look at the infrastructure of the high plateau, where isolated features like the Flatiron landform rise above the valley floor. Water management is central to life in this arid region, evidenced by the Stingley Reservoir in the northeast and Lane Lake toward the south. The road network is particularly evocative of local land use, with family or thematic names such as Morrison Ln, Connley Ln, and Emanuel Way tracing the boundaries of the Public Land Survey System. These routes, alongside the precisely named Salt Flat Ln and Candlestick Rd, reflect the grid-based development of Oregon's high desert ranches and homesteads as they appeared in the early twenty-first century.
