About this map

Mt Thielsen dominates this high-elevation landscape along the border of Douglas and Klamath Counties, where the Cascade Range forms a dramatic divide. The crest is traced by the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, which winds past Sawtooth Ridge and Tipsoo Peak. This area serves as a significant recreational and conservation boundary, split between the Umpqua National Forest and the Winema National Forest.

Winter recreation patterns are evident through specialized trails such as Wits End Way Xc-Ski (Snow) and the Cinnamon Butte Xc-Ski (Snow) route near Cinnamon Butte. The small settlement at Wits End and various drainage systems like Thielsen Creek and Cottonwood Cr define the hydrological and human footprint in this alpine environment. The map captures the specialized transit network required for this terrain, from the high ridges of Hollys Ridge to the lower reaches of Spruce Cr.
