About this map

Fremont National Forest defines the high-desert character of this portion of Lake County, where water management is central to the landscape. The map details a network of water resources vital for regional ranching, including Strawberry Reservoir, South Arm Reservoir, and Albertson Reservoir. These bodies of water, along with named springs like Willow Camp Spring and Adams Spring, supported the operations of remote outposts such as Reed Ranch during the late 20th century.

The terrain is marked by significant elevations including Strawberry Butte and Harp Mountain, which rise above named valleys like Long Valley. This area shows the intersection of natural volcanic features and industry, with several Gravel Pits and Cinder Pits located near Onion Knoll. The drainage patterns are clearly defined by the headwaters of Yocum Creek and Wildhorse Cr, illustrating the watershed's role in this high-altitude environment.
