About this map

Big Hole, a massive maar crater in the High Desert, dominates this 2014 survey of the border between Klamath and Lake Counties. The terrain is defined by volcanic features, including the prominent cinder cone of Big Hole Butte and the elevations of Hooligan Hill and Mowich Spring Butte. This landscape is managed as a transition point between the Deschutes National Forest and the Fremont National Forest.

Transportation through this high-altitude woodland is provided by the Fremont Hwy and an extensive network of timber and access roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 2516 and Nat For Dev Rd 24. The map meticulously records the grid of the Public Land Survey System, showing the townships and ranges that overlay this volcanic field. This edition captures the area's geography following decades of forest management and fire prevention efforts in the Oregon interior.
