2024 Map of S'Ocholis Canyon

About this map

The Sprague River meanders through a landscape of high plateaus and alluvial flats in this part of Klamath County. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, notably the namesake S'Ocholis Canyon and the prominent heights of Ya Whee Plateau and Saddle Mtn. Water management is a primary feature of the local geography, evidenced by a series of upland water bodies including Lone Pine Reservoir, Harris Reservoir, and the Mahogany Ridge Reservoir. These structures, along with several springs like Whitehorse Spring and McReady Spring, suggest a history of managing resources for ranching or forestry within the Winema National Forest. Local transportation is represented by rugged corridors such as the Williamson River Road-C and the distinctive Switchback road climbing through the southern hills.
