2014 Map of Pothole Butte

About this map

Crater Lake National Park and Winema National Forest dominate this high-elevation landscape in Klamath County, where volcanic peaks and desert flats converge. The terrain is defined by prominent rises such as Pothole Butte, Lookout Butte, and Bear Butte, which overlook the expansive Antelope Desert to the northeast. Water management in this arid environment is evidenced by Sand Cr Canal and the presence of dedicated infrastructure like Cistern No 29 and Cistern No 23. A complex network of Forest Service roads, including Nat For Dev Rd 2313 and Sun Mountain Rd, provides the primary access through these timbered lands. Small water sources like Pothole Spring and seasonal drainages such as Pothole Cr and Scott Cr underscore the region's sparse but critical hydrology.
