1989 Map of Abbott Butte

About this map

The Rogue-Umpqua Divide Wilderness serves as the central spine of this 1989 survey, where the boundaries of the Umpqua National Forest and Rogue River National Forest meet. The terrain is defined by high-elevation landmarks such as Abbott Butte, which features a prominent Abbott Butte Lookout Tower, and Quartz Mountain. This landscape is marked by a network of seasonal camps and trails, including Paradise Camp, Cow Camp, and a Pack Trail that traverses the ridges. Several natural water sources and clearings, such as Donegan Prairie and Huckleberry Lake, suggest a history of seasonal use and forest management. The map also captures the headwaters of the West Fork Rogue River and Jackson Creek, illustrating the complex drainage systems that define this divide.
