About this map

Walker Rim dominates the northwest corner of this Klamath County landscape, overlooking a complex network of forest roads and seasonal drainage systems. The area is defined by the high-elevation woodlands of the Winema National Forest, where water sources are primarily found in scattered isolated springs rather than perennial rivers. Names like Grimmet Spring, Bootleg Spring, and Coyote Spring suggest a history of seasonal usage by ranchers or travelers navigating the high desert timberlands. Towards the southern reaches, the terrain levels out into the broad opening of Bear Flat, a significant local landmark where Lost Creek and Shoestring Creek intersect. This modern survey illustrates the enduring importance of these small water points, such as Shoestring Spring and Lost Creek Spring, in an otherwise arid and forested volcanic plateau.
