About this map

Upper Klamath Lake defines the western edge of this landscape, where the waters meet the steep rise of Modoc Point. This area within the Winema National Forest is characterized by a series of high-elevation flats and ridges, including Chiloquin Ridge and Telephone Flat, which overlook the lake basin. The geography is marked by numerous water sources that emerge from the slopes, such as Barkley Spring, Ouxy Spring, and Shell Rock Spring.

Natural drainage patterns are visible through features like Anderson Cr and the descriptively named Hell for Slim Draw in the southeast near Antelope Valley. Travel through the forest is facilitated by seasonal routes such as Swan Lake Point (Snow) and Hagestein (Snow), reflecting the high-altitude conditions of the region. The map provides a detailed look at the interface between the Klamath Basin's aquatic ecosystem and the timbered uplands of the Winema National Forest.
