1981 Map of Oakerman Lakes

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Silver Creek Valley defines the lower elevations of this high desert landscape, where water management is central to the local ranching economy. This 1980s topography reveals a sophisticated network of catchments and wells, ranging from the Maude Oakerman Waterhole to the Rock Quarry Canyon Reservoir. The namesake Oakerman Lakes and the established Oakerman Ranch anchor the central portion of the quadrangle, while the northern edge touches the rugged perimeter of the Ochoco National Forest. The presence of a Landing Strip and numerous 4WD trails suggests the isolation of these operations. Local history is reflected in family-named landmarks like Zoglmann Reservoir and Dick Miller Canyon, illustrating how early settlers utilized the drainages of Chickahominy Creek to support life and livestock in this arid region of Harney County.
