About this map

Fremont National Forest dominates this mid-1960s survey of southern Oregon, where high-altitude drainages and timbered slopes define the landscape. The northeastern corner transitions into the more open Clover Flat, a notable geographic break where Green Creek and Pine Creek flow toward the valley. Water management for ranching or forestry is evident at O'Leary Reservoir, while higher elevations are marked by topographic milestones like Moss Pass 6371.

Remote meadows and flats, including Paxton Meadows and Moss Flat, provide insight into the seasonal use of this land. A network of primitive routes and a Jeep Trail provide the only access through the dense contour lines, crossing numerous seasonal tributaries such as Ben Young Creek and Cox Creek. The presence of a Gravel Pit and a isolated Well suggests localized resource extraction and water needs in an otherwise uninhabited stretch of the forest.
