About this map

Crystal Butte and a series of volcanic-named landforms define this high-altitude landscape in Fremont County. The terrain is characterized by numerous prominent buttes, including Birdseye Butte, Jones Butte, and Monument Butte, which stand as significant landmarks for those navigating the backcountry. This area is dominated by a complex network of seasonal access roads such as Davis Lake Rd and Fogg Butte Rd, reflecting a landscape primarily used for timber management and ranching.

Water is scarce across this high plateau, primarily confined to the three basins of Davis Lake Number One, Davis Lake Number Two, and Davis Lake Number Three. The northern reaches are carved by Bear Canyon, while the southern portion features evidence of historical activity along Jackson Mill Rd. This 2011 survey captures the primitive road system used by foresters and explorers, including distinct routes like Snowshoe Beetle Rd and Bishop Burn Rd.
