About this map

Burn Butte stands at the center of this high-elevation wilderness survey, where the borders of three national forests converge. The landscape is defined by the intersection of Deschutes National Forest, Umpqua National Forest, and Winema National Forest. This 1960s study captures the complex drainage patterns of the Cascades, showing the headwaters of the Little Deschutes River and numerous high-mountain creeks like Fly Creek and Big Marsh Creek.

A notable boundary between Klamath and Douglas Counties runs along the western portion of the map, following the high ridges past Cappy Mountain. For the backcountry enthusiast or researcher, the sheet provides the mid-century alignment of the Skyline Trail as it passes near Maidu Lake and Miller Mountain. The absence of developed roads emphasizes the character of this mountain region before modern forest management altered its primary access routes.
