About this map

Fremont National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Lake County, where water resources dictate the patterns of human movement and land use. The southern portion of the map is anchored by the Cottonwood Reservoir, which captures the flow of Cottonwood Creek and its many tributaries, including Tom Young Creek and Helphenstein Creek. The presence of the Cottonwood Creek Trl and Trunk Road suggests a managed timber and recreation area, providing access through the dense network of drainages.

Historical land management is visible through the sectioning of Townships and Ranges, specifically across t37s r18e and its neighbors. High-altitude meadows and flats like Cox Flat serve as landmarks amidst the rugged terrain of the Thomas Creek watershed. The distribution of perennial water sources such as Mammoth Spring and Paradise Lake indicates a territory traditionally valued for livestock grazing and forest service operations within the Oregon interior.
