About this map

Cox Flat and the surrounding high-elevation timberlands of the Fremont National Forest are defined by an intricate network of springs and seasonal drainages. This 2017 survey reveals a landscape utilized for both water management and forest service operations, anchored in the south by the Cottonwood Reservoir. The map details the complex hydrology of the region, where numerous named water sources like Mammoth Spring, Hunters Spring, and Cougar Springs feed into systems such as Thomas Creek and Cottonwood Creek.

Transport and land management are characterized by a dense grid of forest development roads, including Natl Forest Develop Road 3741 RD and several logging routes. The presence of features like Paradise Lake and Helphenstein Creek illustrate the natural collection points within these forest townships. For those tracking land use or environmental history in Lake County, the map provides exact coordinates for remote water features and the established forest infrastructure of the early 21st century.
