2020 Map of Cougar Peak

About this map

Fremont National Forest dominates this section of the Oregon high country, where the landscape is defined by a series of prominent volcanic rims and ridges. Elevation rises sharply toward Cougar Peak and Grizzly Peak in the east, while the western portion transitions into the basin of Drews Valley. The mapping reveals a detailed network of seasonal water sources and geographic landmarks that speak to the region's ranching and timber history, such as Pot Flat, Dutch Oven Flat, and Shoesole Flat. Named springs like McCloud Spring and Hilario Spring are critical points in this arid environment, often indicating historical watering holes or camp sites. The presence of the Quartz Mtn Snowmobile Trail (Snow) and various forest development roads, including Natl Forest Develop Road 366-RD, illustrates the modern utility of these woods for recreation and management within the national forest system.
