About this map

White River National Forest lands dominate this high-country landscape, where the Piney River carves through the terrain as it flows westward. The survey reveals a complex network of hydrologic and topographic features, including the Piney Guard Station and a Gaging Station positioned to monitor the river's flow. High-altitude basins are dotted with small glacial lakes such as Lava Lake, Marma Lake, and the Lone Lick Lakes, many of which are only accessible via the numerous Jeep Trails and Pack Trails that traverse the ridges. Movement through the area is constrained by the steep topography, centered on significant crossings like Mc Cord Pass and Muddy Creek Pass. The presence of several named springs, including Dodo Spring and High Trail Gulch Spring, underscores the importance of water sources in managing this forest environment for recreation and resource protection.
