1981 Map of Stams Mtn

About this map

Stams Mtn and the high volcanic terrain of the Fremont National Forest dominate this 1980s landscape in Klamath County. The map documents a high-altitude wilderness characterized by cinder and timber-crowned peaks, including Corral Butte, Timber Butte, and Pumice Butte. The scarcity of permanent surface water is evident in the vital network of named wells and springs scattered across the survey area, such as Stams Well, Cannon Well, and Corral Spring. These water sources represent critical infrastructure for range management and forestry operations during this era. Surveyed after the mid-1970s, the map shows a landscape largely shaped by forest service roads and natural topography, with few permanent structures beyond these improved water points. Bear Flat provides a break in the vertical relief, while isolated features like Tinhead Spring and Rock Spring serve as navigational anchors in the dense forest.
