2004 Map of Thompson Reservoir

About this map

Thompson Reservoir dominates this high-altitude landscape within the Fremont National Forest, reflecting a mid-20th-century water management system for southern Oregon. The shoreline is marked by several seasonal drainages including Guyer Creek and Strawberry Creek, with a developed boat ramp indicating its role in local recreation. The map illustrates a rugged topography defined by significant elevations such as Brattain Ridge and Sycan Butte, which overlook the expansive Thompson Valley. Industrial activity is evident through multiple Cinder Pits and a Quarry near the Frog Ponds, likely supporting forest road maintenance. Small water sources like Tool Box Spring and Hawk Spring are scattered across the timbered terrain, serving as vital landmarks for those navigating the backcountry routes that traverse the Alder Spring Ridge and the Silver Creek drainage.
