About this map

The Abert Rim escarpment dominates the western edge of this Lake County landscape, marking a dramatic geological transition within the Fremont National Forest. This high desert terrain is defined by its complex hydrology, where numerous seasonal and perennial water sources like Colvin Crk and Clover Cr provide vital moisture to the arid environment. The map details an intricate network of springs, including Priday Spring, Blue Spring, and Yee Springs, which historically served as critical waypoints for both wildlife and human travel through the interior.

Upland flats such as Washing Machine Flat and Grouse Flat indicate the relatively level high-elevation plateaus that characterize this portion of the Oregon backcountry. Water management for ranching and conservation is evident in features like Fitzgerald Reservoir and the uniquely named Fish Cr Waterhole Number Forty-four. These sites, along with isolated bodies like Vee Lake, highlight the essential infrastructure required to navigate and utilize this expansive forest land.
