About this map

Climax sits at the edge of this high-elevation landscape, where the waters of Antelope Cr flow westward toward the valley below. This part of Jackson County is defined by its complex drainage systems and volcanic peaks, featuring prominent landmarks like Grizzly Peak and Eagle Butte. The terrain is deeply carved by numerous watercourses, including the South Fork Little Butte Creek and Lost Cr, which feeds into the Lost Creek Reservoir.

Evidence of historical land use is scattered throughout the drainages, from the Lake Creek Cem in the north to the Shale City Reservoirs further south. Natural water sources like Donsmore Spring and Red Fir Spring punctuate the ridges, while unusual terrain features like the Big Glades suggest distinct ecological pockets. Transportation routes such as Shale City Rd and Dead Indian Memorial Rd traverse the high country, linking these remote watersheds and timberlands.
