About this map

Campbell Reservoir dominates the low-lying terrain of south-central Oregon in this 2004 revision, situated where the high desert flats meet the rising timber of the Fremont National Forest. The landscape is a study in transition between open grazing lands and protected wilderness, anchored by the volcanic prominence of Gearhart Mountain and the Gearhart Mountain Wilderness. Water management is central to the area's utility, with features like Obenchain Reservoir and numerous springs such as Whisky Spring and Buzz Spring sustaining the livestock operations that utilize the extensive system of flats, including Yaden Flat and Dutchman Flat.

The South Fork Sprague River meanders through the southern portion of the quadrangle, flowing past Round Butte and the lava fields of Devils Garden. Human activity is primarily centered on forestry and ranching, evidenced by the presence of Swede Cabin and established clearings like Keddy Field and Anderson Field. The map also captures the administrative boundaries between Klamath and Lake counties, highlighting the remote nature of this high-altitude watershed.
