2020 Map of Crawfish Lake

About this map

Whitman National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape where the headwaters of several major drainages begin. The eastern edge of the Elkhorn Mountains rises sharply here, bordering the North Fork John Day River which is designated as a Wild and Scenic River. In the southwestern corner, the site of Cabell City provides a point of historical interest for researchers of high-elevation mountain settlements. The map details a specialized transportation network of snowmobile routes, including the Chicken Hill Snowmobile and Elkhorn Drive Snowmobile trails, illustrating how modern recreational use is managed across peaks like Black Butte and Badger Butte. Notable alpine water features such as Crawfish Lake and Lookout Spring are positioned near the Union and Grant county boundary, marking essential landmarks in this drainage divide.
