2020 Map of Hooper Lake

About this map

McGregor Airport sits central to this Whitman County landscape, serving as a rare point of modern infrastructure amidst a complex network of seasonal water bodies and varied drainage systems. This 2020 survey details a unique hydrologic environment where Hooper Lake, McGregor Lakes, and Clear Lake dot the northern plateau. The terrain is defined by its deep incisions, notably Woods Gulch and Rock Spring Gulch, which channel toward the south. The land use patterns here are evident in the orientation of roads like Mc Gregor Rd and Hooper Canyon Rd, which navigate the coulees and flats. Water sources remain critical landmarks for navigation and land management, with named sites such as Mays Spring, Rock Spring, and the curiously named Goldfish Spring providing localized geographic anchors within the larger Thomas Flat region.
