About this map

Fishlake National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape, where the waters of Gooseberry Creek carve through a network of ridges and hollows. The area is characterized by significant water management infrastructure, evidenced by a concentration of high-country impoundments including Salina Reservoir, Farnsworth Reservoir, and Abes Reservoir. These reservoirs, along with multiple gaging stations, reflect the critical role this watershed plays in the regional ecology.

Evidence of human activity and utility is found in the scattered drill holes, a Gravel Pit, and the inclusion of the Gooseberry Campground. Named terrain features like German Flat, Dead Horse Ridge, and Telephone Hollow suggest a history of early logging, ranching, or communication routes through the Gooseberry Valley. The map also traces an extensive network of 4wd roads and trails that navigate the complex drainage systems of Gates Creek and Niotche Creek.
