About this map

Pacific Lake and its surrounding wetlands form the center of this Lincoln County landscape, where the seasonal flow of Lake Creek connects a series of shallow basins. The area's hydrology is characterized by small, distinct water bodies such as Wederspahn Lake, Walter Lake, and Tavares Lake, often located within subtle depressions like Martin Hollow. This terrain is representative of the Channeled Scablands, where ancient floods left behind a complex network of coulees and buttes.

Agricultural and ranching activity is reflected in the grid of local roads, including Zagelow Rd and Quast Rd N. Significant landmarks like Coffeepot Butte rise above the drainage systems, while the southern portion of the map is defined by the Lakeview Ranch Loop N and the headwaters of Duck Creek. These features illustrate the intersection of modern land management and a specialized geological environment.
