1967 Map of Walker Mtn

About this map

Walker Rim dominates this high-altitude landscape in Klamath County, marking a dramatic geological transition between the Deschutes National Forest and Winema National Forest. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the map highlights the prominence of Walker Mtn, which serves as a critical vantage point crowned by the Radio Tower Lookout 7083 Radio Tower. This area is defined by its water resources and varied topography, with several named water sources providing essential hydration in the high country, including Walker Rim Spring, South Walker Spring, and Skookum Spring. The map documents the primitive infrastructure of the period, featuring a Jeep Tr that winds through the forest and notable high points such as Marmot Pass and Skookum Butte, illustrating how early forest management and telecommunications were established on this remote Oregon plateau.
