2014 Map of Swan Lake Point

About this map

Swan Lake Point rises prominently above the surrounding high desert terrain in this Klamath County landscape within the Winema National Forest. The geography is defined by significant volcanic and tectonic features, including the expansive Ya Whee Plateau and the Ya Whee Plateau Rim that drops toward the lowlands. The presence of numerous water sources such as Wrights Spring, Algoma Spring, and Bear Wallows Spring indicates the critical role of specific water points in this arid environment for both wildlife and forestry management. A network of Forest Service roads, including Nat For Dev Rd 5813 and Nat For Dev Rd 9718, provides access to high-elevation points like Edgewood Mtn and Saddle Mtn. The map also captures infrastructure at the Relay Site, showing the modern utility of these high ridges.
