2004 Map of Ponina Butte

About this map

Fremont National Forest dominates this section of Klamath County, where high volcanic terrain meets a complex network of springs and drainage draws. The landscape is defined by Ponina Butte and the Black Hills, serving as a high-altitude watershed for numerous water sources including Petland Spring, Mill Creek Spring, and the headwaters of Swamp Creek. The presence of several Cinder Pit locations suggests the geological history of the area, while names like Huckleberry Draw reflect the local ecology. Human activity is marked by Forest Service infrastructure at Foster Field and a series of managed water bodies such as Powerline Pond and Electric Pond. The lower elevations in the south are crossed by Fivemile Creek and Snake Creek, illustrating the transition from timbered uplands to the watercourses that feed the Klamath Basin.
