About this map

Winter Ridge dominates the western half of this landscape, rising sharply above the shoreline of Summer Lake in a dramatic transition from high forest to alkali basin. Within the Fremont National Forest, the topography is marked by significant landmarks like Fremont Point, which features a Lookout Tower overlooking the massive basin below. The eastern edge of the ridge is punctuated by distinct geological formations such as The Punchbowl and the steep descent through Hunter Hill Pass.

Tracing through the forest and along the rim, the Old Indian Treaty Bdy provides a clear historical demarcation across the terrain. Water sources are scarce but critical, evidenced by named sites like Squirrel Spring, a Flowing Well, and several unnamed Springs clustered at the base of Brattain Hill. This mid-century survey illustrates a remote corner of Lake County where the local economy remained tied to the land, defined by seasonal water, timber management, and traditional boundaries.
