2023 Map of Abbott Butte

About this map

Abbott Butte and the Rogue River Range define this high-elevation wilderness where the boundaries of the Umpqua National Forest and the Rogue River National Forest meet. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of drainages including Jackson Creek, Abbott Creek, and Sunshine Creek, which feed into the larger river systems of Jackson and Douglas counties. This contemporary survey details the protected Rogue-Umpqua Divide Wilderness, showing how modern management maintain historical landmarks like Elephant Head and Quartz Mtn. Long-established trail systems, such as the Rogue Umpqua Divide Trl and the Donegan Prairie Trl, cross through Donegan Prairies and Huckleberry Gap, providing access to isolated water features like Huckleberry Lake and Neal Spring. The map documents the persistent geography of these highland meadows and volcanic peaks, tracing the divide that has long separated these watersheds.
