About this map

Klamath National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape of Siskiyou County, where the topography is defined by significant volcanic and mountain features. The eastern slope of Goosenest rises sharply in the northwest, while Miller Mountain and Herd Peak anchor the southwestern corner. Centrally, the seasonal waters of Grass Lake gather from drainages like Dairy Creek and Bear Wallow Creek, creating a critical wetland habitat amidst the timber.

Evidence of local utility and transport is found at Grass Lake Station and the nearby WT, marking the path of the railroad as it skirts the lake's southern shore. Resource extraction is noted at several locations labeled Cinder Pit, reflecting the area's volcanic geology. The map further documents numerous water sources vital for forest management and local wildlife, including First Spring and Bull Meadow.
