Warner Valley
The Warner Valley is a valley in south-central Oregon in the United States. It is a remote valley at the northwestern corner of North America's Basin and Range Province. The valley is home to a chain of lakes and wetlands known as the Warner Lakes. Native Americans were present in the Warner Valley for thousands of years before European explorers arrived in the 19th century. It is the site of Fort Warner, built by the United States Army in 1867. The fort was used as a supply depot and administrative headquarters during a protracted Army campaign against Northern Paiute bands in eastern Oregon and northern California. Today, livestock ranching is the main commercial activity in the valley. The Warner Valley offers a number of recreational opportunities including hunting, fishing, bird watching, and wildlife viewing.
== Geography ==
The Warner Valley is located in south-central Oregon. It is approximately long and wide. Most of the valley is in Lake County; however, the north end of the valley extends about into Harney County. The valley has two regions commonly referred to as the South Warner Valley and the North Warner Valley. The two areas transition between Crump Lake and Hart Lake at a point where the valley narrows to about in width.〔Whistler, John T. and John H. Lewis, ("Location and General Conditions" ), ''Warner Valley and White River Projects'', United States Reclamation Service, United States Department of Interior in cooperation with the State of Oregon, Washington D.C., February 1916, pp. 16–19.〕
Both sides of the South Warner Valley have steep cliffs rising from above the valley floor. The eastern cliffs run the entire length of the valley, while the western wall turns into rolling hills at the north end of the valley. The Coyote Hills are the western boundary through the middle of the North Warner Valley, with the Rabbit Hills bounding the northwest corner of the valley. From the hills, the ground slopes up to the crest of Abert Rim. The eastern boundary of the valley is Hart Mountain, a massive cliff face that rises above the valley floor. Warner Peak is the highest point on Hart Mountain. The summit is above sea level.〔〔McArthur, Lewis A. and Lewis L. McArthur, "Hart Mountain", ''Oregon Geographic Names'' (Seventh Edition), Oregon Historical Society Press, Portland, Oregon, 2003, p. 449.〕〔Gottberg, John Anderson, ("Pronghorn Paradise" ), ''The Bulletin'', Bend, Oregon, 16 August 2009.〕〔Jackman, E.R. and R.A. Long,(''The Oregon Desert'' ), Canton Press, Caldwell, Idaho: 1964, p. 361.〕
The valley floor is occupied by a chain of lakes known collectively as the Warner Lakes. The entire valley was once covered by a single vast lake; however, the water level gradually receded, leaving a chain of lakes at the low spots with marshland between the lakes. Starting at the south end of the valley, the largest of the Warner Lakes are Pelican Lake, Crump Lake, Hart Lake, Anderson Lake, Swamp Lake, Mugwump Lake, Flagstaff Lake, Upper Campbell Lake, Lower Campbell Lake, Stone Corral Lake, Turpin Lake, and Bluejoint Lake. Because the valley slopes away to the north, Crump Lake is higher in elevation than Bluejoint Lake.〔〔〔〔McArthur, pp. 1010–1011.〕
