2017 Map of Lookout Lake

About this map

Lookout Lake and the high desert terrain of southeastern Oregon define this 2017 survey in Malheur County. The landscape is characterized by intermittent drainages and isolated water sources, including Airplane Reservoir and Black Butte Lake Reservoir, which serve as vital landmarks in this arid region. Significant topographic features like Willow Creek Butte and Mahogany Butte rise above the surrounding plateaus, providing distinct navigational points for those traversing the cattle country and range lands. The drainage patterns of Toppin Cr and Tent Cr illustrate the watershed's reliance on seasonal runoff. Access to this remote corner of the state is primarily provided by unpaved tracks such as Airplane Reservoir Rd and Tent Creek Rd, reflecting the enduring isolation of the Oregon high desert at the start of the 21st century.
