About this map

Fremont National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape of Lake County, where steep volcanic topography meets a network of vital natural springs. The terrain is marked by prominent summits including Cougar Peak and Angel Peak, alongside the distinctive profile of Razor Back Ridge. Drainage patterns are dictated by the descent of Drews Cr and Thomas Cr, while the distribution of water sources like Shoesole Spring and McClendon Spring suggests the historic importance of these sites for livestock and early forest management.

Linear features reveal a specialized recreational and utility infrastructure, notably the Quartz MTN. Snowmobile Trail and a complex of forest development roads such as the Cottonwood Loop. At lower elevations, the settlement area of Drews Valley sits at the edge of the forest, providing a contrast to the high, flat-topped features like Dutch Oven Flat and Pot Flat that characterize the northern reaches of this survey.
