2004 Map of Crooked Creek Valley

About this map

The Fremont National Forest dominates this high-desert landscape in Lake County, where the high-elevation terrain is defined by its seasonal water sources and ranching history. The map highlights a series of established homesteads and legacy locations, including the Kittleson Place (Site) and several family-named outfits like Chambers Ranch and Rehart Ranch. These settlements are linked by the Outback Scenic Byway and the Warner Highway, which cut through the drainage basins of Crooked Creek and Salt Creek. In addition to the agricultural footprint, the land bears the marks of resource extraction with several Prospects and Tarlings noted near Fisk Hill. The southern edge of the quadrangle descends into the dramatic geography of Warner Canyon, providing a transition from the rolling timberland of the forest to the deeper cuts of the canyon floor.
