About this map

Shake Butte anchors this high-elevation landscape within the Fremont National Forest, straddling the border between Lake and Klamath Counties. The serpentine path of the Sycan Wild and Scenic River meanders through the central portion of the quadrangle, flanked by distinctive level areas such as Squaw Flat and Crazyman Flat. This region is defined by its complex drainage network, where numerous seasonal and perennial watercourses like Long Cr, Paradise Cr, and Skull Cr converge.

Evidence of human activity and seasonal access is visible through the extensive network of National Forest Development Roads and the Hadley Snowmobile trail. Reliable water sources, essential for both early navigation and forest management, are marked by several named springs, including Indian Spring, Driscol Spring, and Watson Spring. The map also captures the ecological significance of Kingry Marsh, providing a detailed look at the wetlands and water resources at the headwaters of these varied creek systems.
