2014 Map of Upper Fish Lake

About this map

Upper Fish Lake sits at the heart of this high-desert basin, where the waters of Clover Cr and Green Monster Cr collect in the Little Fish Lake Valley. This 2014 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents a remote section of the Toiyabe National Forest, defined by the dramatic rise of the Hot Creek Range to the east. The map detail reveals an environment shaped by seasonal hydrology and geothermal activity, evidenced by Warm Spring and Upper Warm Spring along the valley's edge. Access to this isolated landscape is restricted to a few unpaved routes, including Natl Forest Develop Road 447 Rd and Natl Forest Develop Road 098 Rd. Narrow drainages like Green Monster Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon cut through the surrounding heights, leading down toward the southern Pott Hole Valley.
