About this map

Saint Patrick Mountain anchors this high-desert landscape in Lake County, Oregon, where a sophisticated network of water management features reveals the importance of every drop in this arid terrain. The landscape is defined by its numerous specialized water sources, ranging from the Settlement Waterhole and Dog Lake Waterhole to designated areas like State Game Reservoir Number 7. This distribution of waterholes, many bearing county and state game designations, implies a region heavily utilized for livestock grazing and wildlife conservation during the early 21st century.

Transportation through this area is largely limited to unpaved routes such as Fandango Canyon Rd and Shuffield Rd, which navigate between prominent geological markers like Black Points, Rocky Butte, and the Coffeepot Basin. These geographic features, along with names like Coyote-Bedground Reservoir, speak to the deep ranching heritage and topographic character of this portion of the Oregon high country.
