About this map

Umpqua National Forest defines the character of this Douglas County landscape, where the South Umpqua River and its numerous tributaries carve through the mountainous terrain. The map details a sophisticated network of forest service roads and specialized timber-access routes like the Aker TS and Wilmer TS systems. These roads provide access to prominent landmarks such as Times Square Rock and the namesake Acker Rock, reflecting the area's intensive management for both timber and recreation in the early 21st century.

Water features are central to the geography here, including the noted South Umpqua Falls and the nearby Su Falls Cg. Higher elevations are marked by points like Flagstone Peak and Coyote Point, while natural openings in the dense forest canopy are preserved at Andraleff Meadows. This survey serves as a record of the infrastructure and natural hydrology of the Cascade foothills, from Junction Spring to the various fords and creek crossings.
