2017 Map of Crescent NE

About this map

Walker Rim serves as a prominent geographic divider in this portion of south-central Oregon, where the high-altitude volcanic landscape transitions between two major timber reserves. The map documents a complex network of forest development roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 9760 and Nat For Dev Rd 9775, which crisscross the boundary between the Deschutes National Forest and the Winema National Forest. This region is defined by its industrial forest management and lack of permanent settlements, focused instead on the topography of the eastern Cascades. The dense contour lines along the rim illustrate the steep escarpments that characterize the local terrain, providing a detailed record of the access routes used for logging and resource management in the late 2010s.
