2011 Map of Cox Flat

About this map

Cox Flat and the surrounding timberlands of Lake County define this high-country landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. The geography is heavily marked by industrial history, most notably the uranium mining legacy represented by the Lucky Lass Mine and the nearby White King Mine. These sites sit amidst a complex network of waterways, including Thomas Creek and Augur Creek, which flow through a terrain transitioned from resource extraction to recreation. Public access is concentrated around the Irishmans Campground and the Cottonwood Creek Trailhead, providing entry points for the many springs and small drainages that feed the Cottonwood Reservoir in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map captures a moment of modern forest management, where a web of secondary routes and a prominent Logging RD service the various forks of Cottonwood Creek and Mesman Creek.
