2017 Map of Horsefly Mountain

About this map

Fremont National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Klamath County, where timber and livestock grazing interests are visible in the dense network of forest roads and named pastures. Centered on Horsefly Mtn, the terrain transitions from the volcanic heights of Tub Butte and Paddock Butte into expansive basins like Horsefly Valley and Summit Prairie. Numerous springs, including Skedaddle Spring and Sheepherder Spring, underscore the importance of water management in this arid timberland. The presence of Otto Boye Flat and Gooch Meadow reflects a history of local land use tied to specific families and early ranching operations. Modern water storage is represented by Wilson Lake and the McKendree Reservoir, which gather runoff from seasonal streams like Barnes Cr and Fishhole Cr.
