2023 Map of Sprague River West

About this map

The Sprague River Valley in Klamath County defines this landscape, where the Sprague River meanders through a broad basin flanked by volcanic landforms. In the northern reaches, distinctive elevations such as Eagle Butte, Watchdog Butte, and the evocative Buttes of the Gods rise above the river plain. The community of Sprague River sits on the eastern edge of the quadrangle, serving as a focal point for local transit along roads like Sprague River Rd and Bliss Rd. To the south, the terrain climbs into the Winema National Forest, a region characterized by complex topography including Switchback Hill and Cruikshank Butte. This area is dotted with numerous water sources essential for forest ecology and historical land use, including South Boundary Spring, Cowboy Spring, and Calico Spring. Modern recreational trails like the Mtr1119160 Trl weave through these timberlands, while open areas like Riddle Field and Bear Wallows suggest the varied use of the high desert fringe.
