About this map

Fremont National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape in Lake County, where steep drainage networks define the terrain of the Big Baldy and Little Baldy peaks. The map reveals an intricate system of forest development roads, including the Natl Forest Develop Road 3613 Rd, which provides access to remote landmarks such as Lynch Flat and Snyder Meadow. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the terrain transitions into the more level reaches of the Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge.

Water management is central to the land's utility, evidenced by the Hotchkiss Ditch and numerous named springs like Barnes Spring and Hotchkiss Springs. Near the intersection of Thomas Creek Rd and Dusenbury Rd, the landscape supports aviation at Withrotor Airport. The map documents a rugged working landscape where national forest timberlands meet managed refuge areas, connected by historical routes like the Thomas Creek Loop.
