2024 Map of Saint Patrick Mountain

About this map

Saint Patrick Mtn dominates this high-desert landscape in Lake County, defining a rugged terrain marked by volcanic rims and ephemeral water sources. The map reveals an essential network of water management in a dry environment, ranging from the Saint Patrick Reservoir and Saint Patrick Lake in the north to the dramatic Diablo Rim at the southern boundary. The presence of numerous numbered waterholes, such as County Waterhole Number 2 and Dog Lake Waterhole, alongside named catchments like the Settlement Waterhole in Coffeepot Basin, illustrates the historical and ongoing reliance on surface water for ranching and wildlife in this part of Oregon. These features, along with landmarks like Black Points and Bunker Hill, provide a clear picture of the land use patterns dictated by the area's arid geography.
