About this map

Winema National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape in Klamath County, defined by the prominent geological formation of Walker Rim in the northwest. The terrain is characterized by a series of flats and isolated peaks, including the expansive Bear Flat and the northern heights of Skookum Butte. This area serves as a critical watershed, where numerous seasonal and perennial water sources emerge from the volcanic soil.

Hydrological features are the primary landmarks for those navigating these woods, including Shoestring Creek and Lost Creek. A network of remote springs, such as Halfway Spring, Bootleg Spring, and Coyote Spring, suggests a landscape historically vital for timber operations and wildlife. The reliance on these specific water points, including Lost Creek Spring and Shoestring Spring, highlights the practical necessities of forest management and backcountry travel in this part of the Cascades.
