2017 Map of Chemult

About this map

Chemult serves as a central hub for this high-altitude landscape within the Winema National Forest, where a complex network of forest development roads and specialized loops indicates a heavy reliance on timber management and outdoor recreation. The terrain is defined by volcanic features like Walker Rim and Deer Butte, while water sources such as Red Cone Spring and Murphy Spring break the dry volcanic soil. The presence of Beaver Marsh State Airport near Beaver Marsh highlights the importance of aviation for fire monitoring and remote access in this part of the Oregon Cascades. Traces of local industry appear at the Cinder Pit and along the Gas Pipeline, which cuts through the forest south of Jill's Hill. This map documents a modern era of forest service infrastructure, from the Deer Creek Loop to specialized recreation paths like Twinkle Loop and Twisted Pine.
