About this map

Winema National Forest dominates this landscape, showing a high-altitude terrain defined by its water sources and historical industrial pathways. The map details a network of vital hydration points, ranging from small Springs to the more significant North Calimus Spring and man-made Stock Ponds, which were essential for both local wildlife and the grazing activities indicated at The Bull Pasture.

A legacy of timber or resource extraction is evident through the presence of an Old Railroad Grade that winds through the forest, marking a time when rail was the primary means of transporting materials out of these mountains. The Cinder Pit further points to localized mining or road-building efforts, providing a clear picture of how this section of Klamath County was utilized for its natural resources and seasonal pasture land in the late twentieth century.
