About this map

Mount McLoughlin dominates this High Cascades landscape, with its prominent northern and southern peaks, North Squaw Tip and South Squaw Tip, rising above a complex network of volcanic lakes and seasonal camps. The high-altitude terrain is defined by water resources and recreational infrastructure, notably the Fish Lake reservoir and the nearby Fish Lake Resort. Further north, a series of smaller water bodies including Fourmile Lake, Squaw Lake, and the curiously named Lake Malice and Lake Janice are scattered across the plateau.

Infrastructure for forest management and recreation is evident through named outposts like Camp Seventy-six and Twin Ponds Camp, as well as the protected Medford Watershed. The map also reveals a intricate system of timber and access roads, such as Twin Ponds Rd and Big Elk Rd, which connect the southern lake basins to the northern ridges. Small alpine features like Rye Spring and Dogwood Spring highlight the essential water sources that support this high country environment.
