2017 Map of Dog Lake

About this map

Fremont National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Lake County, where complex hydrological systems and volcanic terrain converge. The central feature, Dog Lake, is fed by several drainages including Dog Mountain Cr and Dog Cr, illustrating the vital role of seasonal and permanent water sources in this arid region. The map reveals a dense network of forest development roads, such as Natl Forest Develop Road 401 Rd, which provide access to numerous springs like Little Dog Spring and Nick Barry Spring. These named springs and the proximity of the Drews Reservoir in the northeast corner suggest a history of resource management and livestock grazing. Low-lying areas like Young Valley and Green Valley are contrasted by prominent landmarks such as Dog Mtn and Castle Rock, while labels like Scotts Cabin Spring hint at early human presence and homesteading attempts in the rugged backcountry.
