2020 Map of Drake Peak

About this map

Drake Peak anchors the western edge of this landscape within the Fremont National Forest, overlooking a network of high-elevation creek drainages and springs. The terrain is defined by the descent from Peddlers Ridge toward the southeast, where seasonal and managed water sources like Thompson Lake and Game Reservoir suggest the importance of water management in this arid region. The drainage patterns of Twelvemile Cr, McDowell Cr, and Snipe Cr illustrate the complex watershed geography of the Warner Mountains. Evidence of local land use appears in the naming of remote water sources such as Obernolte Spring and Deboy Reservoir. These features, alongside the Plush Cutoff Rd, highlight the infrastructure supporting ranching and wildlife management in this corner of Lake County.
