About this map

Winema National Forest dominates this section of the Southern Cascades, characterized by a concentration of high-elevation volcanic peaks and alpine lakes. The terrain is defined by the massive profile of Aspen Butte, the highest point on the sheet, which stands north of Little Aspen Butte and the Grampian Hills. This landscape is marked by a network of small glacial lakes and tarns, including Lake Harriette, Hemlock Lake, and Clover Lake, which feed the headwaters of systems like Clover Creek.

Logistics and access within this backcountry are primarily limited to forest service routes like Nat For Dev Rd 3840 and Nat For Dev Rd 3818. The presence of South Pass and peaks such as Mt Harriman and Mt Carmine illustrates the complex topography of the crest. To the east, the elevation drops toward the marshy margins of Aspen Lake, showing the transition from high timberland to the basin floor.
