1980 Map of Stinking Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Stinking Lake dominates the western portion of this high desert landscape within the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. The map reveals a complex hydrologic network of natural springs and managed irrigation, where Silver Creek feeds into a series of water bodies including Derrick Lake, Martha Lake, and Warbler Pond. The human presence is marked by water engineering projects such as the St Clair Canal and Goulden Canal, essential for managing the arid environment. A notable concentration of named water sources like Double O Cold Spring, Basque Spring, Ross Spring, and Hibbard Spring congregate near the Double O Station, reflecting the importance of reliable water for livestock and settlement in the Harney Basin. The terrain transitions from the expansive Alkali Flat to the north and east toward more varied elevations, including Rock Island and the sandy stretches of Sand Hollow.
