About this map

The Summer Lake basin and its intricate water management systems define this high-desert landscape. Stretching across the eastern edge of the Fremont National Forest, the region features a complex network of springs and reservoirs, including Ana Reservoir and the Foster Reservoirs, which support the Summer Lake Migratory Waterfowl and Game Management Area. The sharp rise of the Dead Indian Rim and Dead Indian Mountain provides a dramatic backdrop to the wetlands and canals like the Summer Lake-1 D Canal.

Tracing the Southern Oregon Intertie Trail as it winds through the forest, the map reveals several named springs such as Dead Indian Spring and Bagley Spring that were vital to early ranching and travel. Cultural history is anchored by the Summer Lake Cemetery, located near the southern boundary of the management area, marking the enduring presence of the local community amidst the shifts of the Ana River.
