2011 Map of Lee Thomas Crossing

About this map

Lee Thomas Crossing serves as a central landmark in this high-elevation landscape of the North Fork Sprague River watershed. The terrain is defined by dramatic geological features such as the steep Dead Horse Rim and the volcanic prominence of Bald Butte, which is topped by the Bald Butte Lookout. This 2011 survey documents a network of Forest Service roads including RD 177 and RD 125, providing access to remote backcountry sites like Cache Camp and the North Creek Campground. Significant water sources, including the Head of River Spring and the secluded Dead Horse Lake, are mapped alongside recreational markers like the Lakes Loop Trailhead. The presence of broad high-country openings such as Mulky Meadow and Wagon Wheel Flat highlights the traditional grazing and timber land use patterns of this part of Lake County.
