About this map

Fremont National Forest and Winema National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape of southern Oregon. The terrain is defined by a series of volcanic features, including Bear Butte, Doeskin Butte, and Fire Butte, which rise above the surrounding timberland. This area serves as a significant drainage basin, with Rock Creek and Dillon Creek carving paths through the forest towards points west.

Lower-lying clearings such as Long Prairie and Deely Meadow provide breaks in the dense forest cover, indicating areas where water naturally collects or where historical land use may have differed from the surrounding timber. The presence of Deely Spring and the isolated Round Lake further emphasize the hydrological character of this portion of Klamath County. An extensive network of Forest Service roads, including Silver Lake Road, provides access to these remote peaks and meadows.
