About this map

Hot Spring Basin Group and its surrounding thermal features define this high-altitude landscape in Park County. The map documents a network of active geothermal activity, including Whistler Geyser, Josephs Coat Springs, and Ponuntpa Springs. These hydrothermal systems are situated within a basin drained by numerous seasonal and perennial waterways such as Broad Cr and Moss Cr.

The hydrography of the region is characterized by small, distinct bodies of water like White Lake, Fern Lake, and Wapiti Lake, which sit at the headwaters of various drainage systems. The presence of named features like Dewdrop Lake and Tern Lake suggests a complex drainage pattern where water movement is dictated by subtle elevation changes. The southern portion of the quadrangle shows the winding paths of Bluff Cr and Astringent Cr, highlighting the intricate watershed of this backcountry area.
