1964 Map of Valley Falls

About this map

Valley Falls serves as the primary landmark in this high-desert landscape of Lake County, Oregon, where the semi-arid terrain of Coyote Flat meets the timbered slopes of the Fremont National Forest. A complex network of water sources, including Bowersox Lake, Bobs Lake, and numerous named springs like Indian Spring, defines the local geography. The map reveals a land utilized for both recreation and ranching, evidenced by the presence of Chandler State Park and isolated outposts such as Simms Ranch and the Loveless Homestead Spring. The hydrology is particularly intricate here, with drainage through Crooked Creek and Willow Creek shaping the topography. Elevation changes are marked by features like Indian Spring Ridge, while many jeep trails provide the only access to remote points like Bull Meadow and Woodchopper Spring.
