2014 Map of Swede Knoll

About this map

Old Military Rd traces a path through the high desert landscape of Lake County, Oregon, marking a historical corridor across this sparsely populated region. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations like Swede Knoll and the drainage of Robinson Draw, where water remains a critical and scarce resource. Ephemeral and seasonal water sources are scattered throughout the quadrangle, including Fitzgerald Lake, Twin Lakes, and Link Lake, which serve as vital landmarks in the arid high country. The course of Deer Cr meanders through the central and southern portions of the sheet, illustrating the delicate hydrologic patterns that have shaped land use and ranching in this part of the state. The grid of the Public Land Survey System remains the primary organizational feature of the map, delineating the boundaries of several townships including t36s r27e and t35s r26e.
