2014 Map of Sheep Rock

About this map

Sheep Rock dominates this high-desert landscape in Lake County, where the scarcity of water is evidenced by a network of uniquely named catchments and basins. Landowners and ranchers across these townships relied on vital stops like Horse Trap Waterhole, Impossible Waterhole, and Handy Waterhole to sustain livestock in an arid environment. The map details the transition from the volcanic edge of the Burma Rim down toward the seasonal basins of Dead Horse Lake and Walking Plow Lake.
