1998 Map of Cooks Mountain

About this map

Winema National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Klamath County, where the topography is defined by prominent volcanic features and isolated water sources. The map highlights the significant elevation of Fuego Mountain in the north and the expansive Tableland to the southeast. Between these heights, the terrain drops into Cooks Canyon and rises again toward the central peak of Cooks Mountain. This 1990s revision by the Forest Service reveals a network of naming conventions that likely reflect local ranching or timber history, including family-named landmarks like Raymonds Pond and Buckmaster Point. The scattered presence of numerous small water bodies such as Bootleg Pond and Tree House Pond suggests a landscape where water management was vital for livestock or wildlife within the national forest boundaries.
