2014 Map of Peters Creek Sink

About this map

Peters Creek Sink and the vast Sage Plains characterize this arid high-desert landscape in Lake County. The drainage patterns of Peters Cr terminate in the seasonally dry Peters Lake, a distinctive endorheic basin typical of the Oregon outback. Human presence is marked by a network of ranching and utility roads, including the Christmas Valley Back Country Bywy and Millican Rd, which traverse the wide township lines. Rising above the flat plains, Bunchgrass Butte serves as a primary topographic landmark in an area defined by its geological depressions and expansive cattle-country range. This 2014 survey illustrates the modern configuration of access roads like Frederick Butte Rd and Stonehouse Rd, providing a clear view of the rural infrastructure supporting the remote interior of the state.
