About this map

Potato Lake sits at the heart of this high desert terrain, marking a landscape characterized by seasonal basins and volcanic rises. The boundary between Deschutes Co and Lake Co bisects the northern section, where the Central Oregon Hwy and Us-20 provide the primary corridor through the region. This 2014 survey illustrates a network of flats and ridges, including the prominent Parmele Ridge and the western landmark of Studhorse Butte.

Surface water is concentrated in several distinct basins like Hassler Lake, Benjamin Lk, and Jones Lake, which are often separated by expansive open areas such as Canary Flat and Ant Flat. The presence of Stoffard Rd tracing the eastern edge suggests the sparse but critical infrastructure connecting these remote basins. This survey is a detailed record of the physical geography of the Oregon interior, documenting the specific elevations and drainage patterns of the Great Basin's northern reaches.
