About this map

Fremont National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Klamath and Lake Counties. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks like Green Mtn and Black Butte, with Gearhart Mtn rising in the southeast. This is a region of critical water sources, where dozens of drainages such as Paradise Creek and Gold Creek flow from high-elevation springs. Named water sources including Book Spring, Last Chance Spring, and Cold Spring suggest the vital importance of these points for both wildlife and forestry operations.

Sandhill Crossing serves as a primary navigation point within the forest, where primitive roads like Nat For Dev Rd 331 intersect. The hydrology is centered on the N Fork Sprague River, which collects runoff from tributaries like Boulder Creek and Sheep Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the complex Forest Service road network that provides access to the high timberlands and volcanic peaks of south-central Oregon.
