2017 Map of Weaver Lake

About this map

W Batts Camp Lake and Frank Schmidt Lake occupy the northern reaches of this high desert terrain in Harney County. The landscape is defined by a series of ephemeral water features and man-made impoundments like Cheatgrass Reservoir and Lookout Butte Reservoir, reflecting the critical importance of water management in this arid region. The drainage patterns are clearly marked by Scotts Canyon and the broad Sage Hen Valley to the northeast. Transportation across these remote sections relies on local tracks such as Bee Shell Grade and Chain Lake Rd, which provide access to namesake landmarks including Weaver Lake and the interestingly named One O'Clock Lake. This survey illustrates the sparse infrastructure and hydraulic geography of the area as it stood in the early 21st century.
