About this map

Fremont National Forest dominates this high-country survey of Lake County, where industrial activity and remote outposts are scattered throughout the timbered terrain. The extraction history of the area is evident at the White King Mine and Lucky Lass Mine located near Augur Creek, while the legacy of early logging and ranching persists at the Shingle Mill and Garrett Place. Water management and recreation shape the southern portion of the sheet, anchored by the Cottonwood Reservoir with its spillway elevation of 5072 feet.

The topography is characterized by deep drainages like Thomas Creek and Cottonwood Creek, punctuated by several natural springs such as Mammoth Spring and Hunters Spring. For the researcher, the map preserves the location of vanished infrastructure including various Prospects and campgrounds like Irishmans Campground and Thomas Creek Campground. This 1980 revision integrates new aerial data to track changes in the forest roads and jeep trails that navigate the broad open area of Cox Flat.
