2023 Map of Vaughn Well

About this map

Burma Rim defines the eastern elevation of this high desert landscape, where the flat expanses of Christmas Lake Valley and Fort Rock Valley meet the rising terrain of Lake County. This area represents a critical corridor of Oregon's interior basin, centered on the historic infrastructure of Vaughn Well. The road network, including the Christmas Valley Hwy and 3 Mile Rd, follows the logical paths of least resistance through the sagebrush and scrub, connecting isolated ranching resources and water points. The grid-like Public Land Survey System lines, marked by townships like t27s r19e and t28s r20e, overlay a terrain where survival and settlement have long depended on rare reliable features like named wells.
