2014 Map of Mean Rock Well

About this map

Mean Rock Well and the remote high desert of Lake County define this landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map centers on an arid region where life is tethered to intermittent water sources and a network of gravel and dirt thoroughfares. Stone House Rd and Wardell cut across the high plains, providing access to isolated points like Painter and the namesake Mean Rock Well. To the north, the seasonal drainage of Peters Cr and the dry bed of Bull Lk illustrate the survivalist nature of the terrain. This survey reflects the sparse human footprint in this part of Oregon, where land is primarily organized by the Public Land Survey System, marked here by the intersection of townships T24S and T25S.
