1983 Map of Potato Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Dry Potatoe Lake and the high desert terrain of the Oregon outback define this early 1980s manuscript-based survey. The landscape is marked by the presence of ephemeral water sources and family-named landmarks that point to the region's ranching history. Situated along the boundary of Deschutes Co and Lake Co, the map reveals a system of essential water infrastructure such as Browns Well, Parmele Well, and Stauffer Well, alongside the Studhorse Waterhole. These features were vital for survival in an arid environment dominated by large flats like Canary Flat and Ant Flat. The geography is further characterized by volcanic features and high ridges, notably Studhorse Butte and Parmele Ridge, providing a detailed look at the resource-based settlement patterns of this isolated interior region.
