About this map

Saint Patrick Mtn dominates the high desert landscape of Lake County in this 2017 survey, serving as a focal point for a complex network of water management features. The area's reliance on seasonal and collected water is evident through numerous specialized labels, such as Saint Patrick Reservoir, Settlement Waterhole, and Spur Rowel Lake. These water sources are scattered across varied terrain that includes the prominent Diablo Rim to the south and the sheltered Coffeepot Basin to the northeast.

The map reveals a landscape defined by ranching and resource management, where topographic landmarks like Black Points and Rocky Butte provide orientation across the sagebrush-covered basins. Deep cuts in the earth like Fandango Canyon and Sand Canyon show the erosional history of the region. This modern topographic record captures the enduring infrastructure of the Oregon high country, where remote outposts like Rocky Waterhole and Coyote Bedground Reservoir remain essential components of the local geography.
