2017 Map of Poverty Basin South

About this map

Poverty Basin dominates this portion of the Oregon high desert, illustrating a landscape defined by water management and ranching infrastructure. The terrain in this part of Lake County is marked by essential catchment points such as ZX Reservoir Number 1 and Brattain Reservoir Number 11, which serve as critical nodes in an arid environment. These features, along with Knob Waterhole, point to the region's historical reliance on seasonal water sources for livestock and agricultural survival. The map's grid system, including t30s r21e and t31s r22e, reveals the systematic division of these public lands for land management and resource use in the early twenty-first century.
