2012 Map of Slater Butte

About this map

The Klamath River carves a deep path through the Klamath National Forest in this 2012 survey, revealing a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and riverside landings. Small settlements and historic points like Nolton and Fort Goff sit along the riverbanks, marking the interface between the water and the rising terrain of Slater Butte and Cade Mountain. The map illustrates a complex network of forest routes and local roads, such as China Grade Rd and Gordons Ferry Rd, which connect remote holdings like Reeves Ranch to the river corridor. Landforms with distinct names like Shinar Saddle, China Point, and Fryingpan Ridge indicate a geography shaped by both natural forces and early regional activity. Toward the southeast, the landscape becomes increasingly intricate near Three Biscuit Gulch and Evans Mountain, where numerous seasonal creeks like Joe Miles Cr and Wolf Cr drain into the primary river system.
