1999 Map of Sugarpine Mountain NW

About this map

Winema National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Klamath County, revealing a complex network of forest roads and vital water sources established by the late twentieth century. The topography is defined by significant volcanic and timbered features like Skookum Butte and the northern reach of the Walker rim. For those studying the hydrology of the eastern Cascades, the map identifies numerous isolated water points including Halfway Spring, Grimmet Spring, and the seasonal flow of Lost Creek. The distribution of these named springs, such as Shoestring Spring and Coyote Spring, suggests a landscape managed for both timber harvest and livestock grazing. This survey, revised by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 1999, provides a precise record of these remote interior lands before modern changes to forest management practices.
