About this map

The Sprague River Valley characterizes this high-desert landscape in Klamath County, where the Sprague River meanders through a broad basin punctuated by volcanic landmarks. Notable peaks including Wolf Butte, Skunk Butte, and the Buttes of the Gods rise above the valley floor, providing significant elevation markers for this part of the Winema National Forest.

A network of water management features, such as Prairie Reservoir, Long Reservoir, and the John Smith Reservoir, suggests a landscape engineered for ranching and forest management. Residential and agricultural roads like Lone Pine Road C.R. 852 and Sprague River Rd connect the scattered homesteads and ranches, while numerous family and animal-named lanes such as Walking Horse Ln and Gray Wolf Ln indicate the local community's character in the early 2020s.
