2020 Map of Plush

About this map

Plush is the primary settlement in this corner of the high desert, positioned at the edge of the expansive Warner Valley wetlands. The landscape is defined by the sharp descent of the western rim, where drainages like Juniper Spring Draw and Miners Draw cut through the volcanic tablelands. In the valley floor, the hydrology is dominated by Hart Lake and the meandering courses of Honey Creek and Twelvemile Creek. The transportation network is built around local hubs like the intersection of Plush Cutoff Rd and Hogback Rd, while Hart Mountain Rd provides access toward the massive fault-block ridge to the east. This map illustrates the vital connection between the desert rangelands and the seasonal water sources of the valley, a relationship that has dictated ranching and settlement patterns in Lake County for over a century.
