About this map

The Chewaucan River winds through this high-desert portion of the Fremont National Forest, carving through a landscape defined by prominent volcanic peaks and deep canyons. Morgan Butte and Brattain Butte dominate the central terrain, while the Parker Hills rise to the southwest. This 2014 survey documents a network of forest roads, including Natl Forest Develop Road 330 Rd, providing access to isolated springs and meadows that have supported livestock and wildlife for generations.

Local history is reflected in several family-named landmarks such as Myers Butte and the nearby Myers Meadow. The hydrology of the area is particularly detailed, showing the seasonal flows of Coffeepot Cr, Schoolhouse Cr, and Antelope Cr, along with numerous named water sources like Marsters Spring and Antelope Spring. Broad plateaus like Coffeepot Flat break up the vertical relief, illustrating the diverse topography of Lake County.
