About this map

The North Fork Sprague Wild and Scenic River meanders through this high-elevation landscape within the Fremont National Forest, defining a drainage system that includes Walker Creek and School Creek. The terrain is characterized by dramatic elevation changes, from the prominent summit of Gearhart Mountain in the southwest to the sweeping Dead Horse Rim and Wagon Wheel Flat to the east. These geological features create a basin for isolated water bodies such as Blue Lake and Campbell Lake, alongside specialized environments like Gearhart Marsh.

Modern land use is reflected in a network of forestry and recreational infrastructure, notably the Gearhart Mountain Trail and a series of snowmobile routes including the Hadley Snowmobile path. Named clearings such as Lee Thomas Meadow and Mulky Meadow suggest a history of seasonal grazing and forest management. This 2020 record captures the intricate system of National Forest Development Roads that provide access to remote springs like Frigid Spring and Bald Butte Spring.
