2004 Map of Sandhill Crossing

About this map

Fremont National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape along the border of Klamath and Lake counties. The topography is defined by significant volcanic peaks including Black Butte and Green Mountain, which rise above a network of drainages that feed the Sprague River. The southeastern quadrant transition into the Gearhart Mountain Wilderness, where the Gearhart Mountain Trail winds through the headwaters of Gearhart Creek. Historical land use is evidenced by remote outposts and local landmarks like Conrad Place, Ryan Cabin, and the BK Corral. The area’s hydrological importance is clear from the density of named water sources such as Last Chance Spring, Cold Spring, and the North Fork Sprague River, which provide critical water in this timbered terrain.
