2024 Map of Gordon Lake

About this map

The Winema National Forest landscape is defined by the volcanic high country of Klamath County, where the upper reaches of the Williamson River and its tributaries carve through high-elevation terrain. This modern survey shows a complex network of seasonal and perennial waterways, including the Williamson River Ditch and Modoc Creek, which drainage patterns reflect the hydrological management of this timber-rich region. The area is anchored by prominent summits like Yamsay Mtn and Little Yamsay Mtn, which overlook a series of draws and ridges such as Skellock Draw and Wildhorse Ridge. For those tracking the natural geography of the Oregon Cascades, the map identifies small, significant water sources like Gordon Lake and the Buckhorn Spring, essential landmarks in an environment where water flow is often intermittent, as seen in the frequent labels for Dry Creek.
