1982 Map of Peters Creek Sink

About this map

Peters Creek Sink and the expansive Christmas Lake Valley define this high desert landscape in central Oregon. In the early 1980s, the area relied heavily on subterranean water sources, as evidenced by the numerous named wells like Sink Wells and Juniper Well scattered across the basin. The drainage of Peters Creek terminates here, creating a distinct hydrological feature where water disappears into the volcanic or alluvial sediments.
