2017 Map of Fitzwater Point

About this map

Fremont National Forest dominates the western half of this Lake County landscape, where the high terrain of Fitzwater Point and Fitzwater Pass gives way to an intricate network of springs and canyons. The presence of Miners Cabin Spring, Whiskey Spring, and Mud Spring indicates a landscape historically shaped by the seasonal availability of water for early grazing and timber operations. To the east, the terrain flattens into a complex irrigation system defined by the North Canal, South Canal, and East Canal, which channel water toward the agricultural lands surrounding Drews Reservoir. This map documents a transitional zone between the timbered uplands and the high-desert valley floor. Notable water features like Barnes Slough and the northern tip of Goose Lake highlight the area's terminal drainage patterns, while the West Side Cem remains a quiet marker of the rural community established along Westside Rd.
