About this map

Winema National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape in the southern Oregon Cascades, where the water system is defined by large alpine reservoirs and numerous secluded ponds. Fourmile Lake dominates the western portion of the map, surrounded by smaller, colorfully named water bodies like Lake Malice, Lake Aphis, and Bull Swamp. The topography is marked by significant elevations including Pearce Point and the volcanic slopes of Old Pelican Butte.

Modern recreation and forest management are central to this 2017 survey, visible in the extensive network of service roads and specialized trails. From the High Lakes Bike Trail near the northern shore of Lake of the Woods and Rainbow Bay to winter-specific routes like the Varney Creek Snomo and Cold Springs Snomo, the map details a landscape heavily utilized for seasonal passage. The presence of the Fourmile Flat Quarry and the Rye Spur Pit indicate the ongoing local extraction needs within the national forest boundary.
