About this map

Valley Falls sits at the northern edge of this high-desert landscape in Lake County, where the topography transitions from the high ground of Fremont National Forest into the broad basin of Crooked Creek Valley. The terrain is defined by a series of north-south running ridges and flats, most notably Indian Spring Ridge and the expansive Coyote Flat. Water is a critical element here, evidenced by the numerous springs and small basins like Woodchopper Spring, Dicks Spring, and Soda Spring that punctuate the volcanic landscape.

Water management and natural collection points appear throughout the map, from the Coyote Flat Reservoir to smaller alpine features like Bowersox Lake, Mill Lake, and Pete Lake. The survey also marks distinctive clearings and grazing areas such as Bull Meadow and Moss Meadow. These features, combined with routes like Clover Flat Rd and Simms Rd, illustrate how this remote corner of Oregon has been utilized for ranching and resource management over time.
