2011 Map of Wocus Bay

About this map

Wocus Bay and Little Wocus Bay define the northern hydrology of this Klamath County landscape, where the Williamson River flows through a complex of high-elevation meadows and volcanic features. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Forest Service reveals a remote terrain managed for forestry and conservation, marked by a dense network of forest roads such as Kirk Rd and Nat For Dev Rd 4530. Numerous named water sources, including John Cole Spring and Wocus Butte Spring, suggest the critical importance of water management in these high flats. Prominent landmarks like Wocus Butte and Little Wocus Butte provide significant vertical relief above expansive openings like Yoss Creek Meadow and Whitehouse Flat. The presence of the Old Forest Camp indicates the area's long-standing role in forest recreation and management near the southeastern edge of the marshlands.
