1999 Map of Crescent NE

About this map

The high-altitude terrain of Walker Mountain dominates this Klamath County landscape, which sits at a significant jurisdictional junction. The map documents the boundary where the Deschutes National Forest meets the Winema National Forest, illustrating a heavily forested and topographically complex region of the Oregon Cascades. A critical piece of local infrastructure is found at Fremont Siding, a named railroad point along the tracks that cut through the mountain's lower slopes. The topography here is defined by sharp elevation changes and forest management lines, captured during the USDA Forest Service's 1999 revision of earlier 1960s surveys. For historians and land researchers, the map provides a clear record of forest access roads and the relationship between the rail corridor and the surrounding timberlands.
