2024 Map of Palomino Lake

USGS Topo · Published 2024

About this map

Saddle Butte Lava Field dominates the high desert landscape of Malheur County in this recent survey, showcasing a terrain defined by volcanic activity and sparse water resources. The presence of the Saddle Butte Lava Tube in the northeastern reaches suggests a subterranean complexity beneath the sagebrush steppe. Life and movement in this part of southeastern Oregon rely on rare water catchments like Palomino Lake and the Sheephead Reservoir, which serve as vital points for ranching and wildlife in an otherwise arid basin. Navigation through this territory is limited to remote tracks such as Iron Mountain Rd and Kiger Rd, reflecting a landscape that remains largely undeveloped. Small drainages like Ryegrass Creek and Scott Butte Creek provide the primary topographic relief in an area primarily organized by the Public Land Survey System grid.
