2020 Map of Gearhart Mountain

About this map

Fremont National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in southern Oregon, where the volcanic geology of the Cascade Range is evident in prominent landmarks like Gearhart Mtn and The Dome. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of seasonal water sources and drainages, including Mitten Spring, Edler Spring, and the headwaters of the S Fork Sprague River. Human presence is largely defined by resource management and recreation, with a grid of forest development roads and specialized routes such as the Quartz Mtn. Snowmobile Trail. The map reveals the interplay between the massive igneous formations of Palisade Rocks and the open expanses of Grouse Prairie and Jack Flat. Near the southern edge, the tiny settlement of Blaisdell sits along the river, providing a rare point of named habitation in this expansive forest environment.
