2020 Map of Cox Flat

About this map

Fremont National Forest defines the landscape of this Lake County region, where the high-elevation terrain is marked by an extensive network of drainage creeks and isolated springs. The hydrology of the area is centered on Cottonwood Reservoir in the southeast, fed by Helphenstine Cr and Cottonwood Creek. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the namesake Cox Flat, a significant level area amidst the rising contours. Numerous named water sources such as Mammoth Spring, Snake Spring, and Boggs Spring indicate the critical importance of reliable water in this forested environment. A complex system of forest development roads, including Natl Forest Develop Road 3758 Rd, provides access across the townships. The presence of Paradise Lake and various logging roads suggests a landscape managed for both timber production and natural resource conservation during the early 21st century.
