1984 Map of Sagebrush Knoll

About this map

Abert Rim defines the western edge of this high desert landscape, dropping sharply toward the basin floor. The terrain is characterized by a series of seasonal catchments and waterholes essential for livestock management in this arid stretch of Lake County. Central to the map's activity is the Lynch Cow Camp Corral, which along with Sherlock Waterhole and Hub Reservoir, illustrates the infrastructure of the local cattle ranching economy during the early 1980s. A network of draws, including Dent Draw and Sagebrush Draw, channel intermittent runoff from features like Sagebrush Knoll and Eagle Butte. The presence of the Lake Co Harney Co boundary and the remote Nasty Flat Road highlight the isolation and specialized land use of this region before modern developments.
