1960 Map of Riverbed Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Sycan Marsh and the Sycan River define the northern hydrology of this high-altitude landscape on the border of Klamath and Lake counties. Much of the territory is partitioned between the Fremont National Forest and the Winema National Forest, with a significant portion marked by the Indian Res Boundary. The industrial history of the timberlands is evident in the trace of the Old Logging Railroad that winds through Bob Flat and past Riverbed Butte. Isolated outposts of human settlement appear as small family-named landmarks and ranching operations, including the McCartie Ranch, Obenchain Ranch, and the Sycan Fire Guard Sta. The presence of numerous watering points like Frying Pan Spring and Horseglade Spring suggests the critical importance of water management for livestock and forest service operations in this remote region.
