About this map

Chandler Cabin stands as a lonely landmark in this high-desert drainage system, situated near the headwaters of Clover Creek. The landscape is defined by its seasonal hydrology, from the small catchments of Priday Lake and Colvin Lake in the north to the Fitzgerald Dam that creates Fitzgerald Reservoir on Colvin Creek. The southern portion of the map reveals a dense network of forest service roads, including the NFD 3615 RD, which provides access to remote points like the Vee Lake Trailhead and Swale Trailhead.

Several springs, such as Blue Spring and Con Spring, suggest the vital importance of water sources in this arid environment. The naming of local terrain features like Washing Machine Flat and Grouse Flat reflects the specific nomenclature of the region's ranching and hunting heritage. This survey details the complex system of small drainages, including First Swale Creek and Second Swale Creek, that feed into the larger Honey Creek basin during the spring runoff.
