2017 Map of Swede Knoll

About this map

Swede Knoll rises above a high desert landscape characterized by seasonal hydrology and significant topographic relief in this 2017 survey of Lake County. The drainage patterns of the region are defined by Robinson Draw and the intermittent flow of Deer Cr, which move across a series of township and range sections including t36s r27e and t35s r26e. The area is dotted with several localized basins, most notably Fitzgerald Lake, Twin Lakes, and Link Lake, which serve as critical landmarks in this otherwise sparsely developed territory. This map documents the natural hydrology before any modern diversion, capturing the relationship between the elevated knolls and the low-lying lake beds like Desert Lake and Thunderbird Lake at the southern edge of the quadrangle.
