About this map

Winema National Forest dominates this section of Klamath County, where the high-altitude terrain is defined by the massive Yawhee Plateau and Winema Plateau. The landscape is a network of ridges and water sources, centered on the prominent Swan Lake Mountain and Swan Lake Point. Near the summit of the point, the presence of the Swan Lake Point LO and a Radio Facility indicates the strategic importance of this high ground for regional communication and fire observation during the mid-1980s.

Water is a critical feature across these heights, evidenced by scattered names like Algoma Spring, Bear Wallows Spring, and Edgewood Spring. To the north, the terrain softens into Wrights Meadows and the open expanse of Choptie Prairie. The map also reveals the area's geological and industrial facets through a Cinder Pit and Gravel Pit, while the eastern portion highlights the complex drainage system of Trout Creek and its various forks carving through the Bad Lands.
