About this map

Silver Lake sits at the southern edge of this Oregon landscape, where the high desert terrain meets a complex network of seasonal water and marshes. The settlement is anchored by the Silver Lake Cem, serving as a vital point of reference for local family history in Lake County. To the east, the extensive Paulina Marsh dominates the lowlands, fed by a series of drainages including Silver Cr, Buck Cr, and Conley Cr.

The geography is defined by the contrast between these wetland areas and the rising elevations of the Connley Hills to the north. Water management is evident through features like Crested Reservoir and Lonely Reservoir, illustrating the community's reliance on these systems in an arid environment. A series of secondary routes, such as Pitcher Rd and CO Hwy 660 N, provide the essential links between the remote ranching lands and the central townsite.
