About this map

Winter Ridge rises sharply above the western shore of Summer Lake in this topographic survey of Lake County, Oregon. The dramatic elevation change between the alkaline basin and the forested uplands of the Fremont National Forest is the defining characteristic of this landscape. Near the highest point, a Lookout Tower sits at Fremont Point, providing a vantage over the expansive lake and the surrounding high desert.

A notable historical element is the Old Indian Treaty Bdy, which cuts across the ridge and slopes, marking a significant legal and cultural boundary from an earlier era. Water sources like Squirrel Spring, a Flowing Well, and various unnamed Springs indicate the critical importance of water for land management and travel. Rugged access is shown via a Jeep Trail winding through the terrain towards Brattain Hill and Hunter Hill Pass.
