2020 Map of Pole Butte

About this map

Fremont National Forest dominates this high-country landscape in Lake County, where the terrain is defined by volcanic features and an extensive network of springs. Rising above the timberline, Pole Butte and Timber Fall Butte provide the primary elevation markers, while the southwestern corner is distinguished by the Sycan Wild and Scenic River. The map reveals a land managed for both conservation and historical grazing, evidenced by named locations like Lamb Field and Picketpin Flat. Hydrological features are exceptionally dense for this arid region, ranging from the sizeable Emigrant Lake to numerous localized water sources such as Picture Tree Springs, Box Spring, and Picketpin Spring. A web of Forest Service infrastructure, including Natl Forest Develop Road 28 Rd and Natl Forest Develop Road 3219 Rd, provides the primary access points through this drainage system for Chocktoot Cr and Squaw Cr.
