2012 Map of West of Willow Ranch

About this map

Goose Lake dominates this 2012 survey, its expansive waters stretching across the border of Oregon and California. The landscape shown here is largely aquatic, defined by the seasonal fluctuations of this large alkaline basin. On the northwestern shore, Log Landing serves as a small point of human activity, likely tied to the timber interests that have historically operated near the lake's edge. Access to this stretch of shoreline is provided by Co Rd 48, which follows the contours of the western bank. This topographic record preserves a snapshot of the lake's extent before recent drought cycles altered the shoreline of this high-desert water body.
