About this map

Fremont National Forest defines the western terrain of this Lake County region, where the high point of Drake Peak overlooks a complex network of high-desert water sources. The landscape is characterized by its numerous springs and managed water basins, including Roaring Spring, Obernolte Spring, and Flynn Spring. These vital water points feed into drainages like Twelvemile Cr and Drake Cr, which are supplemented by early 21st-century water management features such as State Game Reservoir Number Two, Flynn Reservoir, and Game Reservoir.

Transit through this high-elevation area is marked by the Plush Cutoff Rd, which skirts the southern edge of the forest near Thompson Lake. The topographic detail reveals the descent from Peddlers Ridge in the southwest to the lower elevations of Irish Hill in the southeast. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure utilized for conservation and ranching in the Oregon backcountry.
