2023 Map of Poverty Basin South

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

The high desert landscape of Lake County is defined by its water management systems and vast alkali flats. Alkali Valley sits on the eastern edge of this terrain, while the higher elevations are marked by a series of engineered water sources critical for livestock and land use. Names like Poverty Basin and Poverty Corners Waterhole hint at the difficult conditions of this arid environment. The map shows the distribution of several numbered reservoirs, including ZX Reservoir Number 1 and two segments of the Brattain system, Brattain Reservoir Number 11 and Brattain Reservoir Number 8. Other vital points on the landscape include Knob Waterhole and Rim Waterhole, illustrating how topography dictates the placement of infrastructure in this region of Oregon.
