About this map

The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through a high-altitude landscape where three major national forests—the Deschutes National Forest, Umpqua National Forest, and Winema National Forest—converge. This 2014 survey documents the complex topography of the Cascade Range near the border of Douglas and Klamath Counties. The geography is defined by prominent volcanic features and peaks, including Burn Butte, Cappy Mtn, and Hemlock Butte.

Water systems originate from these heights, with the Little Deschutes River and numerous tributaries like Big Marsh Cr, Clover Cr, and Deer Cr draining the timbered slopes. The presence of Maidu Lake near the southwestern corner provides a clear landmark for hikers and researchers tracking the hydrologic patterns of the high Cascades. The map also shows a network of forest development roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 5840, which facilitate access to these protected lands.
