About this map

Medical Springs and the nearby community of Pondosa anchor the southeast corner of this mountainous landscape in Union County. The settlement pattern reflects a reliance on water management for agriculture and industry, with engineered features such as Little Park Dam, Wright Ditch, and Robertson Ditch crisscrossing the lower elevations near Sagebrush Flat. Historically significant for its post office and geothermal activity, Medical Springs serves as a hub for routes like Big Creek Rd and Telocaset Rd.

High-elevation terrain is defined by prominent peaks including Frazier Mountain, Reeves Mountain, and Sugarloaf Mountain, while Catherine Summit Sno-Park indicates the modern role of the area for seasonal recreation. Waterways like Milk Creek and Beagle Creek carve deep valleys through the timbered hills, feeding into reservoirs such as Fisk Reservoir and Harmon Reservoir that sustain the local watershed.
