2017 Map of Crescent

About this map

Gilchrist and Crescent serve as the primary hubs in this section of northern Klamath County, where the timber industry and river geography define the landscape. The Little Deschutes River winds through the western half of the map, supporting the Gilchrist Log Pond, a clear indication of the area's logging heritage. The topography is marked by significant elevations including Crescent Butte and the prominent Walker Rim to the southeast, while the lowlands feature Odell Pasture and local community spaces like Bingham Park. This 2017 survey details a network of forest infrastructure, specifically the Gilchrist Haul Rd and numerous National Forest Development Roads that penetrate the Deschutes National Forest and Winema National Forest. The map captures a high-desert forest environment transitioning between managed timberlands and protected federal forests.
