About this map

Winema National Forest encompasses this high volcanic plateau in southern Oregon, characterized by a complex network of springs and specialized water catchment features. The terrain is dominated by significant elevations such as Cooks Mtn and Fuego Mtn, with the vast High Tableland sloping toward the east.

Resource management and ranching history are evident through the numerous named water sources like Raymonds Pond, Guard Pond, and Miller Pond, alongside a designated Corral and Well. This 1980s landscape documentation includes specific localized landmarks such as Buckmaster Point, Horse Butte, and the Cinder Pit, providing a detailed view of the drainage patterns and geographical markers used by foresters and locals. Notable water points such as Dibbor-Cook Spring and Chipps Spring highlight the critical role of groundwater in this arid upland environment.
