2014 Map of Partin Butte

About this map

Fremont National Forest defines the character of this high-elevation landscape, where a network of drainage systems feeds the larger basins of Lake County. The terrain is marked by significant volcanic features such as Partin Butte and Round Butte, which rise above the surrounding slopes of Alder Spring Ridge. Water management and natural springs are central to the geography here, evidenced by named points like Alder Spring and Partin Spring. The area's hydrology is complex, with headwaters for W Fork Silver Cr, Guyer Cr, and Strawberry Cr carving through the timbered sections. Access is provided by several established routes, including Natl Forest Develop Road 3021 Rd, which skirts the ridges. This 2014 survey documents the remote drainage patterns of the high desert fringe, illustrating how water travels from the heights toward Indian Creek Flat.
