About this map

Loco Lake sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Lake County, Oregon, as surveyed in 2020. This interior basin is characterized by isolated water sources and sharp topographical rises that define the movement of water and travelers across the sagebrush-rich terrain. To the north, the prominence of Tenmile Ridge and its peak at Tenmile Butte dominate the skyline, providing a geographical anchor for this vast stretch of public and private land.

The presence of scattered water points like the South Cat Waterhole reflects the essential livestock and wildlife infrastructure of this arid region. Significant land markers such as Sharp Top in the northeast and Fivemile Point in the southeast provide clear orientation across the various townships and ranges, including t31s r18e and t32s r18e, which divide the open country into distinct sections for management and navigation.
