About this map

The timber and transit corridor of Winema National Forest is well-defined in this late-twentieth-century study of the eastern Cascade slope. The settlement of Chemult serves as the focal point for regional infrastructure, positioned between the striking elevation of Walker Rim to the east and the watershed of Deer Creek. The presence of the Burner Sawmill and multiple Pumice Pits highlights the industrial character of the landscape, where natural resource extraction and transport are paramount.

Logistics and aviation history are evident at the southern edge of the quadrangle near Beaver Marsh, which features a dedicated Landing Strip and an Airway Beacon. These features, alongside the Diamond Lake (Siding) and the Sno-Tel Weather Station, reflect the area's role as a critical link for rail, road, and aerial navigation through the high country. Small water features like the Spring and the headwaters of Miller Creek provide essential markers in an area defined by its volcanic geology and managed forestry.
