About this map

Rabbit Basin defines the central geography of this remote Lake County landscape, where the high desert terrain transitions between prominent ridges and seasonal watercourses. The 1966 survey, updated in 1980, shows a sparse human footprint centered on livestock and ranching infrastructure, such as M C Corral and the small settlement of Foley. Transportation is largely restricted to rugged routes like Hogback Road and various jeep trails that navigate the elevation changes between Flint Ridge and the Flint Hills.

Drainage patterns are clearly visible through the seasonal flows of Rabbit Creek and the etched path of Mary Ann Draw, both feeding toward the low-lying Alkali Flat. To the south, the terrain rises again into the Rabbit Hills, while the boundary between Harney and Lake counties cuts across the northern edge of the sheet. The inclusion of a small Pit indicates localized resource extraction in an otherwise vast, open range.
