About this map

Fremont National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape along the boundary of Klamath and Lake counties. The terrain is defined by a series of volcanic features and peaks, including the prominent Wastina Butte in the northeast and the centrally located Wickiup Butt. Water sources in this arid timberland are sparse, concentrated around seasonal drainages and named points like Mowich Spring, Smoke Creek Spring, and Pothole Spring.

A network of forest roads and trails, such as those through Crooked Meadow, suggests the area's continued use for resource management and backcountry access. Elevations rise significantly toward the south, culminating at Bald Mtn and Wart Peak. These topographic markers, along with Timothy Creek and Smoke Creek, provide essential orientation for those studying the remote high-desert forest interface in the early twenty-first century.
