2020 Map of Location Butte

About this map

Winema National Forest and Fremont National Forest meet in this high-altitude landscape of Klamath County, characterized by a series of springs and seasonal water sources. The namesake Location Butte rises as a central landmark above a network of drainages and meadows including Parker Meadow and the aptly named Bear Wallow. Human presence is marked by scattered improvements such as Dicks Camp Spring and Cliff Spring Reservoir, reflecting the area's history of forest management and seasonal grazing. The terrain is defined by dry features like Sagebrush Flat and Sagebrush Draw, which transition into the drainage of Rock Cr to the south. This topographic study reveals the remote character of the eastern Cascades, where water management at sites like Bull Jack Spring and Mud Spring remains vital for the surrounding forest ecosystem.
