About this map

Welch Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this portion of Klamath County, overseeing a landscape defined by an intricate network of forest management routes and intermittent waterways. The terrain is deeply inscribed with a web of National Forest Development Roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 70 and Nat For Dev Rd 1370, which facilitate movement through the timberlands.

Drainage patterns across the quadrangle are dictated by several named streams, including Cottonwood Creek, Desert Creek, and Silent Creek. These watercourses, along with others like Sink Creek and Bear Creek, trace the natural low points of the high-desert environment. The map provides a detailed view of the infrastructure supporting the region's forestry operations, highlighting the specific routes like Nat For Dev Rd 9775 that crisscross the area around the butte and its surrounding valleys.
