2012 Map of Lake McCloud

About this map

Wyntoon sits at the heart of this Siskiyou County landscape, where the McCloud River winds toward the reservoir. The topography is defined by the canyon's sharp bends, most notably the aptly named The Bend, and the various gulches that feed the river system, including Coyote Gulch and Tarantula Gulch. To the north, the river transitions through a series of natural cascades, specifically Upper Falls, Middle Falls, and Lower Falls, near Fowlers Campground. This area demonstrates a mix of managed forest land and water resource infrastructure, evidenced by the Lake McCloud Boat Launching Ramp and the network of forest access roads like Timber Country Ranch Rd. High points such as Cone Point and Oak Knob overlook the reservoir, while named clearings like Bigelow Meadow and Pine Tree Hollow indicate the varied vegetation patterns of the Klamath National Forest vicinity during this era of modern land management.
