About this map

Horsefly Mtn anchors this high-elevation landscape within the Fremont National Forest, where a network of seasonal streams and springs supports isolated cattle ranching and timber activity. The terrain is characterized by broad flats and meadows, such as Otto Boye Flat and Gooch Meadow, which break up the timbered ridges. Water management is central to the area's utility, evidenced by the presence of McKendree Reservoir, Wilson Lake, and Dry Lake.

Land use patterns are visible through the network of forest roads and named landmarks like Gerber Ranch and the Gerber Rim. These features, along with numerous named water sources like Skedaddle Spring and Yellow Jacket Spring, illustrate the essential infrastructure required for survival and industry in this portion of Klamath County. The topography varies from the steep descent at the rim to the open expanses of Summit Prairie and Big Meadow.
