2004 Map of Coffeepot Creek

About this map

Fremont National Forest dominates this Lake County landscape, a complex drainage network at the start of the twenty-first century. The map centers on the high-elevation terrain where the South Fork Coffeepot Creek and North Fork Beaver Creek originate. Human presence is marked by a handful of established outposts and transit routes, most notably the Scissors Cabin and the historic Taylor Place (Site) in the southern reaches. Steep ridges and narrow drainages like Elder Creek and Augur Creek characterize the topography, which is largely navigated via specialized trails rather than paved roads. The Hanan Trail and Dead Horse Rim Trail provide a look at how this high-desert forest was managed and accessed, while local names like Corral Ring Creek and Little Coffeepot Spring hint at the area's legacy of stock grazing and water management.
