1998 Map of Yainax Butte

USGS Topo · Published 2000

About this map

Winema National Forest and Fremont National Forest converge in this high-elevation corner of Klamath County, where the prominent Yainax Butte towers over a landscape defined by volcanic landforms and seasonal water management. This late-1990s landscape is dotted with small-scale water infrastructure like Bechholdt Reservoir, May Reservoir, and Mallory Reservoir, which support local ranching operations such as the Keno Springs Ranch. The terrain shifts from the open expanses of Sunset Prairie and Round Prairie to the steep relief of Rock Canyon, revealing a complex network of springs, including Whisky Creek and Tamarack Spring, that are vital to this arid forest environment. A notable Lookout Tower on the butte indicates the area's importance for regional fire observation, while scattered industrial sites like a Quarry and Gravel Pit highlight the local extraction of materials for forest road maintenance.
