About this map

Winema National Forest encompasses the western half of this 2014 survey, where the terrain rises toward Klamath Point. The landscape is defined by its complex irrigation and water management system, featuring an extensive network of man-made waterways including the Central Canal, Sevenmile Canal, and the Blue Springs Ditch. These systems draw from numerous natural water sources like Annie Cr and Mares Egg Spring, which feed into the lower-lying agricultural lands of the east.

The map reveals the intersection of natural hydrology and human engineering at Fat Klamath Meadows. A series of Forest Service development roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 3184 and Nat For Dev Rd 3334, provide access through the timbered slopes, while the eastern flats are traversed by Or-62. This transition from the forested heights of the Winema National Forest to the managed wetlands and ditches of the basin reflects the regional reliance on spring-fed water systems.
