2014 Map of Cougar Peak

About this map

Fremont National Forest dominates this high-altitude corner of Lake County, where steep volcanic topography is defined by prominent summits and expansive mountain flats. High points like Cougar Peak and Angel Peak overlook a landscape of complex drainage basins, including the headwaters of Drews Cr and Cottonwood Cr. The map reveals a high-desert timber and grazing environment where named terrain features like Dutch Oven Flat and Shoesole Flat suggest a history of seasonal range use. Transport through this high country is limited to a network of established forestry routes such as Natl Forest Develop Road 3715 Rd, while the Klamath Falls-Lakeview Hwy provides the primary passage through Drews Valley in the south. The abundance of named water sources, such as Shoesole Spring and Hidden Springs, underscores the importance of reliable water in this arid highland terrain.
