About this map

White River National Forest defines the character of this high-elevation landscape, where the White River Plateau meets the prominent Clinetop Mesa. The terrain is defined by a series of high ridges and mountains, including Blair Mountain and Burnt Ridge, which serve as the headwaters for numerous alpine drainages. The map reveals a network of primitive routes and trails that navigate the steep elevation changes, providing access to secluded water sources like Adams Lake and Bugle Lake.

Water is a critical feature throughout the quadrangle, marked by specific points such as Boiler Spring and Bearwallow Spring. These named springs, along with creeks like Canyon Cr and Middle Creek, suggest a landscape historically utilized for seasonal grazing and backcountry travel. The survey detail highlights the intersection of natural topography and forest management, from the isolated Flatiron Mtn to the winding course of the Keyser Creek Trl.
