About this map

Gearhart Mountain Wilderness dominates this topographic study of the Lake County high country, where volcanic geology is visible through prominent formations like The Dome, Haystack Rock, and the Palisade Rocks. The landscape within the Fremont National Forest is defined by a dense network of water sources, ranging from the South Fork Sprague River in the south to the high-elevation Lookout Spring and Cottonwood Spring.

Evidence of human activity is centered on ranching and early monumentation. The Mitchell Monument and its picnic area stand as a localized landmark, while the small settlement at Blaisdell and the Finley Corrals point to the area's grazing history. Access into the interior is documented via the Gearhart Mountain Trail and various pack trails, crossing distinctive terrain like Grouse Prairie and Buckboard Ridge.
