2011 Map of Plush

About this map

Plush serves as the small hub for this high-desert ranching community in southern Oregon, where the local Plush Post Office anchors a sparsely populated landscape of expansive ranch holdings. The map illustrates a distinctive settlement pattern defined by isolated homesteads such as Con Lynch Ranch, Flynn Ranch, and Taylor Ranch, all situated near the vital water sources that cut through the arid terrain. Natural drainages like Honey Creek, Twelvemile Creek, and Fish Creek flow toward the eastern edge of the quadrangle, where the shoreline of Hart Lake begins to emerge. This hydrological system is further defined by seasonal features like Juniper Spring Draw and Miners Draw, which emphasize the importance of water management in Lake County's agricultural history. The road network, including County Hwy 3-13 and Hogback Rd, highlights the connectivity between these remote outposts and the larger region.
