About this map

Ponina Butte and the Black Hills define this high-altitude landscape in Klamath County, characterized by a complex network of forest service roads and vital water sources. The area serves as a critical watershed, where Ponina Creek, Mill Creek, and Swamp Creek originate from numerous named seeps such as Pelland Spring and Frying Pan Spring.

Modern infrastructure is represented by Powerline Pond and a web of transit routes including Sycan Rd and NFD 3445 Rd. The map also documents several small, isolated water bodies like Electric Pond and Lonesome Pond, which provide insight into the land's management for livestock or wildlife. Distinctive geological markers such as Piute Rock and the drainage of Huckleberry Draw highlight the varied topography of this timbered region.
