About this map

Fremont National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape, where a sophisticated network of small reservoirs and mountain springs sustains the local ecology. The map reveals a high-country plateau characterized by seasonal water storage, featuring the Big Swamp Reservoir, Lapham Reservoir, and Arkansas Reservoir. This area in t39s r16e serves as a critical watershed, with numerous named springs such as Sullivan Spring and Blue Monday Spring feeding into Fishhole Cr and Barnes Valley Cr.

The terrain is defined by prominent volcanic and erosional features including Fishhole Mtn, Juniper Mtn, and the distinctive Barnes Rim. Historical land use is evident in the naming of clearings and meadows like Creed Field, Holmes Meadow, and Arkansas Flat. A complex system of forest roads, including Natl Forest Develop Road 379 Rd, provides access to these remote areas, which have historically supported timber and livestock interests.
