About this map

Paulina Marsh and the northern reaches of Silver Lake dominate this high-desert landscape in Oregon's Lake County. The terrain is defined by a series of volcanic features and drainages, including the prominent Tuff Butte and the southern slopes of the Connley Hills. Multiple seasonal and perennial streams, such as Conley Cr, Bunyard Cr, and Murdock Cr, flow toward the low-lying marshland, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Great Basin.

Land management and rural transit are evidenced by a grid of county roads and named routes like Buick Ln and Arrow Gap Rd. The presence of Parks Reservoir near Hayes Butte and the distinctive Table Rock to the east highlight the varied geological formations and water storage efforts in this sparsely populated region. The map captures the interface between the high ridges and the expansive wetlands that characterize this portion of the Oregon interior.
