2011 Map of Warner Peak

About this map

Old Camp Warner and the surrounding high desert of Lake County are captured in this 2011 survey, revealing a landscape defined by seasonal water and volcanic terrain. The map traces the complex drainage of the Warner Mountains, where Rock Creek and Guano Creek flow through the interior. Notable cultural landmarks include Post Meadows and Barnhardy, which suggest the area's history of cattle ranching and early military outposts. The hydrology is particularly detailed, showing thermal activity at Hot Spring near the northern border and the expansive, often dry basins of Spanish Lake and Thunderbird Lake to the south. Elevations reach their peak at Warner Peak and High Point, while more localized relief is found at Adams Butte and the sheer drop of Martin Canyon. This sheet serves as a clear record of the access roads and natural springs, such as Indian Springs, that have supported human activity in this isolated part of the Oregon backcountry.
