About this map

Winema National Forest and the Klamath Marsh National Wildlife Refuge define this section of south-central Oregon, where timbered volcanic uplands meet expansive wetlands. The terrain is anchored by prominent landmarks such as Round Butte and String Butte, with the higher ground of Three Creek Ridge overlooking the eastern marshes. This landscape is a complex of hydrologic features, including named water sources like Willow Spring, Log Spring, and Tank Spring, which historically supported movement through the forest.

Logging and resource management roads, including Round Butte Lookout Rd and Chiloquin Camp Rd, weave through the forest, tracing the routes of 20th-century development. The eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by the Klamath Marsh, an area defined by seasonally variable water levels and drainages such as Cole Cr and Mosquito Cr. This survey illustrates the protected interface between the high desert forest and the critical riparian habitats of the Klamath Basin.
