2004 Map of Crane Mountain

About this map

Crane Mountain and its high-elevation viewpoints anchor this segment of the Fremont National Forest, where the landscape transitions from sharp peaks into the broad drainage of Big Valley. The map highlights a network of remote recreation sites, including the Crane Mountain National Recreation Trail which traverses the ridge near Willow Point. Numerous headwaters originate here, with the Middle Fork and South Fork of Deep Creek carving through the terrain alongside Dismal Creek. Isolated forest camps like Willow Creek Forest Camp and Deep Creek Forest Camp provide specific locations for backcountry study. Smaller landmarks such as Mosquito Flat and Red Peak offer precise orientation for those researching land use and natural boundaries in this part of Lake County.
