About this map

Fremont National Forest dominates this landscape in Lake County, where high-elevation terrain is defined by prominent peaks like Shoestring Butte and Moss Pass Butte. The area serves as a significant drainage basin for the Chewaucan River, which is fed by numerous named tributaries including Swamp Creek, Dairy Creek, and Shoestring Creek. The mapping of small-scale water sources like Shoestring Spring, Lucky Six Spring, and Clem Spring indicates the critical importance of water security for forest management and livestock in this environment.

Transportation through the hills relies on established routes such as Moss Pass and the Trunk Road, alongside specialized motorized trails like Mtr 3510 142 Trl. Landmarks such as Jack and Jenny Buttes and Doe Mtn provide essential orientation points for those navigating the timberlands and grazing allotments. The detailed survey of township and range lines across t36s r18e and neighboring sectors reflects the ongoing administrative oversight of these federal lands.
