About this map

Calimus Butte rises as the central landmark of this high-country landscape within the Winema National Forest during the late 1990s. The topographic detail reflects a working forest environment, punctuated by infrastructure like the Calimus Lookout and the Klamath County Quarry. This survey provides a record of the complex network of forest access routes, including the prominent Williamson River Road, and the vital water sources scattered across the terrain.

Water management and resource extraction are evident through features such as North Calimus Spring and a remote Cinder Pit. The presence of The Bull Pasture suggests historical grazing uses that preceded or coincided with the forest's administration. This era of the forest is defined by the intersection of industrial quarrying, fire observation, and the preservation of natural springs across the high Oregon plateau.
