About this map

The Winema National Forest encompasses this high-elevation region of Klamath County, dominated by the peaks of the Cascade Range. High points like Surveyor Mountain, Kent Peak, and Surveyor Peak define the terrain, while geological features such as the Rock Slide reflect the area's volcanic and erosional history. Water management is a central theme of the landscape, evidenced by the presence of Lower Sheepy Reservoir, Sheepy Reservoir, and Parker Reservoir, which capture runoff from the surrounding slopes.

A complex network of forest roads and spurs, including Keno Access Rd and Buck Mountain Rd, provides access to the meadows and glades scattered throughout the timber. Named clearings like Puckett Glade, Cherry Glade, and Surveyor Meadows break up the forest cover, often associated with natural water sources such as Onion Springs and Cold Creek Spr. The map illustrates the specialized infrastructure of 21st-century timber and land management, tracing routes like Checkers B Rd and Spencer Hook-up E Spur across the ridges.
