2020 Map of Walker Mountain

About this map

The crest of Walker Mtn and the sheer escarpment of Walker Rim dominate this high-desert landscape on the boundary of the Deschutes National Forest and Winema National Forest. This terrain is characterized by volcanic peaks and passes, including Marmot Butte and Marmot Pass, which rise above a network of isolated water sources. Crucial hydrologic points like South Walker Spring, Skookum Spring, and Walker Rim Spring provide rare water in this dry timberland. The presence of Crooked Meadow in the southeast suggests a shift in topography where the high plateaus descend into more open, low-lying drainage areas. High-elevation landmarks such as Skookum Butte define the southern reaches of the quadrangle, serving as significant navigational points within the vast forest lands.
