About this map

The high plateau of the Winema National Forest is defined here by the towering Walker Rim, a dramatic escarpment that overlooks a network of hydrologic and industrial history. This late 1960s survey captures a landscape where water is the primary landmark, evidenced by numerous named sources such as Halfway Spring, Grimmet Spring, and the secluded Bootleg Spring. These water points served as vital resources in a high-elevation timber environment.

Industrial activity from a previous era is etched into the terrain via an Old Railroad Grade that winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle. This feature, alongside Shevlin Well and the course of Lost Creek, provides a clear view of how early 20th-century logging operations utilized the forest before these lines were decommissioned. The map preserves these specific topographical and logistical details of Klamath County just before 1970.
