About this map

Fremont National Forest defines the high-altitude landscape of this Lake County region, where the Chewaucan River carves a deep path through the terrain. The 1966 survey, later updated in 1980, reveals a network of springs and canyons vital to the area's grazing and timber history. Notable landmarks include the Morgan Butte lookout and several prominent formations such as Brattain Butte and McComb Butte.

Remote outposts and family-named locations like Whitehouse Place and Burford Canyon are recorded alongside functional features such as the Campground near Marsters Spring and scattered Gravel Pit sites. The map documents the intricate drainage systems of Bear Creek, Coffeepot Creek, and King Creek, providing a detailed view of the water sources that sustained the Parker Hills and Myers Meadow grazing grounds during the mid-20th century.
