2014 Map of Poverty Basin South

About this map

Saunders Rim dominates the northwestern corner of this landscape, overlooking a series of water management features essential for life in this arid part of Lake County. The mapping reveals an industrial presence through the Diatomite Mine located in the western sections, while the rest of the terrain is defined by its waterholes and reservoirs. Significant water sources such as Brattain Reservoir Number 8, Brattain Reservoir Number 11, and Zx Reservoir Number 1 indicate a region structured for livestock or resource management. The geography transitions from the flats of Poverty Basin in the north to high-point water caches like Knob Waterhole and Rim Waterhole in the south. Unpaved routes such as Alkali Lk and a prominent north-south Powerline trace the minimal human infrastructure across this open range.
