About this map

Klamath Marsh National Wildlife Refuge dominates the southwestern quadrant of this landscape, marking a vital hydrologic transition where the massive Klamath Marsh meets the timbered uplands of the Winema National Forest. The terrain rises sharply from the marsh flats toward prominent volcanic features such as Sugarpine Mtn in the northwest and God Butte near the center of the sheet. This area is defined by its complex network of seasonal meadows and springs, which have historically supported both wildlife and local ranching operations.

Remote drainages like Mosquito Cr and Jack Cr carve through the forest, leading to isolated pockets of grazing land such as Paddys Meadow and Rakes Meadow. The presence of numerous named water sources, including Deer Scaffold Spring and Kicking Horse Spring, suggests a landscape long utilized for stock and resource management. Long-distance transit is represented by Silver Lake Road C. R. 6, which skirts the southern edge of the forest near Sagebrush Point.
