2014 Map of Bridge Creek Draw

About this map

Fremont National Forest defines the high-altitude landscape of this Oregon interior, where a network of springs and man-made water catchments support the local ranching economy. The drainage of Bridge Creek Draw and the flat expanse of Cashow Flat characterize the terrain, while reliable water sources like Freeman Spring, Lundy Spring, and Thirteenmile Spring anchor the land's utility. Human presence is marked by ranching infrastructure and forest service routes, including Pitcher Rnch and Sphar Ranch Rd. The inclusion of Basalt Reservoir and Spring Reservoir suggests a managed water system designed to sustain life in this arid volcanic landscape. This survey documents the intersection of public forest management and private ranching interests in Lake County during the early 21st century.
