1968 Map of May Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The South Warner Rim dominates this 1960s landscape, marking a sharp topographic boundary above the wide, flat floor of the Warner Valley. This region of Lake County is defined by its water management and livestock history, where numerous isolated water sources like Cattle Guard Spring, Spearpoint Spring, and Surveyor Spring were vital for range operations. The drainage patterns of Twentymile Creek and Horse Creek feed into seasonal basins, including May Lake, while artificial impoundments like Lucky Res and Greaser Res demonstrate the engineered efforts to capture runoff in this high-desert environment. A Gaging Station on Twentymile Creek and a series of rugged Jeep Trails provide the only infrastructure in this sparsely populated terrain, illustrating the remote character of the eastern Oregon ranching country during the mid-20th century.
