About this map

Fremont National Forest and Deschutes National Forest converge in this high-elevation landscape of Lake County. The terrain is defined by the prominent rise of McCarty Butte, which overlooks a network of forest development roads and land management boundaries. Water is a vital but sparse resource here, represented by the Lasater Reservoir and the seasonal waters of Wastina Pond.

A network of administrative and access routes, including Blm Rd 6149 Ao and Co Rd 5-10, serves the timber and rangelands of the interior. The presence of Gubsher Well points to the area's history of resource management and livestock support in an otherwise arid environment where Smoke Cr provides the primary drainage. This map details the intersection of state and federal land usage at the start of the 2020s.
