2017 Map of Barnes Valley

About this map

Fremont National Forest defines this high-desert drainage system in Barnes Valley, where early 21st-century water management is central to the landscape. The area is characterized by a complex network of springs and seasonal catchments, including Malloy Spring, Burnt Log Spring, and Pitch Log Spring, which feed into tributaries like Pitch Log Cr and Barnes Valley Cr. Large-scale water storage is evidenced by the Tull Reservoir and Little Squaw Flat Reservoir, reflecting the region's historical reliance on managed water for ranching or forestry. The terrain transitions between the open flats of Squaw Flat and Little Squaw Flat to the more varied topography of Bear Wallows near the Klamath and Lake county line. A dense grid of US Forest Service and BLM access roads connects these remote points, illustrating the modern management of public lands in this corner of Oregon.
