About this map

The eastern shoreline of Goose Lake defines this landscape, where the flat lakebed meets the rising slopes of the Fremont National Forest. In the early 1960s, the Southern Pacific railroad served as the primary transit corridor along the coast, passing through small points like Cogswell and Scherrard. The hydrology of the area is distinct, featuring numerous flowing wells scattered across the basin floor, likely supporting the local ranching economy.

Rising sharply to the east, the terrain transitions into the forested uplands of Sugar Peak and is carved by a series of drainages including Crane Creek, Tandy Creek, and Sugar Creek. A network of backcountry routes, such as the South Fork Jeep Trail and North Trail, provides access to interior features like Thunder Egg Lake. In the southeast corner near the state line, the New Pine Creek Cem serves as a significant genealogical marker for the surrounding rural community.
