2023 Map of Crook Peak

About this map

Sherman Valley and the high elevations of the Fremont National Forest dominate this high-desert landscape in Lake County. The terrain is defined by prominent volcanic features including Crook Peak, Twelvemile Peak, and McDowell Peak, which overlook a network of seasonal drainages and springs. This 2023 survey details the complex recreational infrastructure of the area, featuring the Southern Oregon Intertie Trl and the Crane Mtn National Recreation Trl as they navigate the ridges and basins. Water sources, vital in this arid environment, are mapped with precision, from Military Spring in the north to Stairstep Spring near the distinct Stairstep Butte in the southwest. The presence of naming conventions like Sage Flat and Bull Prairie reflects the grazing and topographical character of this portion of the Warner Mountains.
