About this map

Winema National Forest encompasses the high-elevation terrain of this Klamath County landscape, defined by volcanic landforms and managed timberlands. The primary landmark is Calimus Butte, which serves as a prominent vantage point crowned by the Calimus Butte LO lookout station. This area is characterized by its vital water sources, including the isolated North Calimus Spring and Holler Spring, which provide critical moisture in an otherwise arid timber environment.

Logging and forest management infrastructure is evident through the network of access routes, most notably Williamson River Road-C. The drainage patterns are defined by small seasonal flows like Yoss Creek and important perennial points such as Buckhorn Spring. These features suggest a landscape primarily utilized for fire surveillance and forest resources, maintaining the character of the Oregon Cascades' eastern slopes.
