About this map

Provolt and Applegate serve as the primary anchors for this region where the Josephine Co Jackson Co line divides a landscape of deep gulches and high ridges. The Applegate River winds through the lower elevations, flanked by agricultural and water management features like the New Berryman Ditch, Stone Sumps, and the Cook Reservoir. The terrain is characterized by numerous named drainages such as Myrtle Gulch, Whisky Gulch, and Johnsons Gulch, many of which likely speak to the early prospecting and homesteading history of the area.

Legacy landmarks including Missouri Flat and the Missouri Flat Cem are visible alongside significant topographic heights like Old Blue Mtn and Billy Mtn. This survey shows a sophisticated network of mountain roads such as Birdseye Creek Rd and Miners Creek Rd, which provide access to remote gaps and hillsides like Bear Pen Gap and Bald Hill, illustrating the enduring intersection of timber, ranching, and rural residency in this part of Southern Oregon.
