About this map

Winema National Forest encompasses the entirety of this landscape in southern Oregon, where the terrain is defined by volcanic elevations and seasonal water sources. The namesake Round Butte sits near the center of the sheet, while String Butte rises to the north, overlooking a network of drainage systems including Shoestring Cr and Cole Cr. This high-elevation area is marked by several vital water points such as Willow Spring, Log Spring, and Tank Spring, which historically supported movement through these woods.

A complex grid of forest development roads, including Nat For Dev Rd 8610 and Nat For Dev Rd 83, provides access to the backcountry. To the south, Chiloquin Camp Rd and Three Creeks Rd indicate more established transit routes through the timberlands. The presence of Three Creek Ridge and numerous small drainages like God Cr and Mosquito Cr reflects the transition between the crests and the basin floor, serving as a primary source for researchers of regional forestry and topography.
