About this map

Winema National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape in southern Oregon, characterized by a series of distinct tablelands and volcanic buttes. The map reveals a transition between the elevated flats of High Tableland and the prominent rise of Cooks Mtn, which serves as a central landmark for the surrounding terrain. To the south, Horse Butte and Knot Tableland define the southern reaches of the quadrangle, where the topography descends toward drainage basins.

Water sources are vital markers in this semi-arid environment, with named features such as Dibbon Cook Spring, Chipps Spring, and several catchment areas like Little Hole Reservoir and Guard Pond distributed across the forest. A network of rural and forest roads, including Sprague River Dr and Lone Pine, provides access to these remote areas, which were traditionally used for timber and livestock grazing. The nomenclature of the smaller roads, such as Steelhead Ln and Mountain Quail Ln, reflects the local focus on the region's wildlife and natural resources.
