2023 Map of Grass Well

About this map

Deschutes National Forest and Fremont National Forest meet in this high-altitude landscape within Klamath County. The terrain is defined by the convergence of major public land boundaries, where the Winema National Forest also enters the southwestern reaches of the sheet. The topographic detail reveals a complex network of forest roads and contour patterns that illustrate the volcanic and high-desert geography characteristic of this part of Oregon. While primarily a managed timber and wilderness area, the presence of Mowich Spring in the southeastern quadrant indicates the critical role of isolated water sources in this dry forest environment. Researchers can trace the legacy of federal land management through the township and range lines of t24s r11e and t25s r11e, which mark the historical divisions of the Cascades' eastern slopes.
