About this map

Peters Creek Sink defines a unique endorheic drainage point in this high desert landscape of eastern Lake County. The terrain is marked by seasonal water features and scattered volcanic rises, including the prominent Bunchgrass Butte in the southern reaches. This modern survey illustrates a rural grid of county roads and local ways, such as Stone House Rd and Sink Ln, that navigate the arid flats of the Sage Plains.

Hydrological patterns are central to the area's geography, with the ephemeral Peters Cr feeding into Painters Reservoir and Peters Lake. The distribution of roads like Millican Rd and Frederick Butte Rd alongside descriptive local names like Jackrabbit Dr and Piglet Way suggests a sparse but established ranching or agricultural presence among the township and range divisions of the Oregon high country.
