About this map

Winema National Forest encompasses the volcanic elevations and high-country wetlands of this Klamath County landscape. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks, including Applegate Butte, Little Applegate Butte, and Crawford Butte, which rise above the surrounding timberlands. Hydrological features are abundant in this high-elevation environment, where numerous water sources like Slabhouse Springs, Applegate Spring, and Beaverdam Springs feed the local ecosystem.

Wilson Flats provides a rare stretch of level terrain amidst the volcanic slopes, while drainage is facilitated by Hog Creek and Big Creek. Navigational routes through the forest are largely comprised of specialized trails, such as the M14518250 Trl, and larger thoroughfares like the Williamson River Road C. This 2023 edition documents the area's current state as a managed timber and recreation resource, illustrating the enduring relationship between the volcanic topography and the water systems of the southern Oregon Cascades.
