About this map

Klamath Marsh National Wildlife Refuge dominates the northwestern reaches of this Klamath County landscape, where the Williamson River winds through the wetlands of the Klamath Marsh. The terrain is defined by a transition from these expansive marshlands and bays, including Wocus Bay and Little Wocus Bay, to the timbered uplands of the Winema National Forest. High points like Wocus Butte and Little Wocus Butte provide significant vertical relief overlooking the valley floor.

Local hydrology is represented by a network of springs and meadows that likely served as critical landmarks for early settlers and travelers. Features such as Millhayes Meadow, Whitehouse Spring, and Dice Crane Spring dot the landscape, alongside named flats like Solomon Flat and Whitehouse Flat. The presence of Kirk suggests a node of historical human activity near the forest boundary, while the variety of family-named water sources like John Cole Spring provides essential clues for genealogical research in this part of Oregon.
