About this map

Rodeo Butte and the surrounding high country of Fremont National Forest dominate this Klamath County landscape. The terrain is defined by a series of distinct glades and flats, such as Rail Glade, Horse Glade, and the expansive Preacher Flat to the south. Water management for livestock and forest health is evident through features like O'Connors Puddle Reservoir and the headwaters of numerous seasonal streams, including Meryl Cr and Cain Cr.

A network of forest development roads, including Ivory Pine Rd, provides access to these timberlands and natural springs like Cold Spring and Meryl Springs. The geography transitions from the elevated Rimrock Point down into the low-lying area known as The Basin, reflecting the complex volcanic and erosional history of this part of southern Oregon. This 2014 survey documents the modern state of these public lands, emphasizing the importance of perennial water sources such as Horse Glade Spring and Rodeo Spring in an arid forest environment.
