About this map

Fremont National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Lake County, where the Chewaucan River carves a deep path through the terrain. The map documents a rugged system of canyons and buttes, notably Morgan Butte and Brattain Butte, which serve as prominent landmarks for navigation. Seasonal water sources and spring-fed streams like Schoolhouse Creek and Antelope Creek suggest the area's historical utility for ranching and forest management.

Remote passage through the mountains is facilitated by Moss Pass and Avery Pass, while the presence of Myers Meadow and Coffeepot Flat provides natural breaks in the steep topography. Significant drainage networks, including Tim Long Creek and Newell Creek, reveal the complex watershed that feeds the Chewaucan. The network of trails and primitive routes, such as the Southern Oregon Intertie Trl, highlights the area's role as a backcountry corridor within the national forest system.
