2023 Map of Dog Lake

About this map

Dog Lake and the high ridges of the Fremont National Forest characterize this high-desert landscape in Lake County. The map shows a complex network of springs and drainages, including Scotts Cabin Spring, Navy Spring, and Dog Lake Spring, which feed into major water bodies like Drews Reservoir in the northeast corner. This water-scarce environment is defined by its named valleys such as Yocum Valley and Young Valley, separated by prominent geological features like Dog Mtn and Castle Rock. The presence of the Main Trail S-H and routes through Buckaroo Pass reflect the area's legacy of range management and wilderness navigation. These detailed records of isolated springs and creek beds like McCoin Creek and Fall Creek provide essential data for understanding the historical hydrology of Oregon's high country.
