1983 Map of Last Chance Lake

About this map

Last Chance Lake and its namesake Last Chance Well define this high desert basin on the boundary between Lake and Deschutes Counties. The 1983 survey shows a landscape dominated by internal drainage and prominent volcanic landforms, where seasonal water bodies like Paiute Lake and Dry Lake dot the sagebrush-covered terrain. The presence of the Chewaucan Slough in the north and the North Fork of Peters Creek in the southeast suggests a complex hydrology typical of this portion of the Oregon high country.
