2011 Map of Schaefer Lake

About this map

Chiwawa River defines the eastern corridor of this high-elevation region, flanked by a network of seasonal recreational sites and mountain peaks. The 2011 landscape is characterized by a concentrated cluster of public land amenities along the river, including Chiwawa Horse Camp, Rock Creek Campground, and Riverbend Campground. This proximity suggests a developed infrastructure for backcountry access and equestrian use within the drainage basin. Moving west, the terrain rises toward Crook Mountain and McCall Mountain, where isolated alpine features like Twin Lakes and Schaefer Lake reside in glacier-carved basins. High-point surveillance is indicated at Estes Butte Lookout near the northern boundary. The intricate drainage network, involving Raging Creek and Twin Lakes Creek, highlights the complex watershed that feeds into the river valley, accessible primarily via the arterial Chiwawa River Rd.
