About this map

The Klamath River carves a deep valley through this mid-century survey of the Winema National Forest borderlands. The landscape is defined by its logging and ranching heritage, featuring an extensive network of timber-access routes like the Lumber Railroad and Walters Road. Significant local-history markers are scattered throughout the rugged terrain, including the Spencer Cem near the river's Big Bend and the Way Cemetery further south.

Evidence of seasonal camps and specialized operations appears at Camp Sa-wa-li-na-is and the site of Camp 4 (Aban'd). High-altitude hydrology is documented through numerous named water sources such as Aspen Lake, Cherry Glade, and Sheepy Spring, which supported the livestock and timber interests of holdings like the 41 Ranch. The map captures the infrastructure of the era through named tracks including the Jeep Trail and Topsy Road.
