About this map

Quartz Mountain and the surrounding high-country flats of the Fremont National Forest dominate this 2020 landscape in Lake County. The map reveals an intricate network of winter recreation routes, including the Quartz Nordic N Loop (Snow) and the Quartz Mtn. Snowmobile Trail (Snow), which navigate the timbered slopes around Quartz Mountain Pass.

Hydrological features are abundant across the terrain, from the Lofton Reservoir in the south to smaller alpine waters like Spatterdock Lake and Beaverdam Lake. The presence of named watering points like Beer Garden Spring and Fern Spring, alongside the dispersed clearings of Creed Field and Quartz Valley, indicates a landscape shaped by both forest management and historical range use. Topographic details highlight distinctive landmarks such as Owen Butte and North Butte, providing a comprehensive look at this remote part of the Oregon high desert interior.
