2017 Map of Baldy Mountain

About this map

Siuslaw National Forest dominates this section of the Oregon Coast Range, where the drainage basins of the N Fork Smith River and Sweet Cr meet. The landscape is defined by its dramatic vertical relief, featuring the prominent Baldy Mountain and the distinct peak of Mt Grayback. This 2017 survey details a remote interior of Lane Co and Douglas Co that remains largely accessible only via a network of forest service and bureau of land management roads, such as Hadsall Creek Rd and Nat Forest Develop Road 4880 Rd. A notable geographic highlight is the concentration of waterfalls along the Kentucky Creek drainage, specifically Upper Kentucky Falls and Lower North Kentucky Falls, which sit nestled between high ridges like Hand Ridge and Smittie Ridge. The mapping shows the intricate web of small tributaries including Sheep Herder Cr and Jump Cr that feed the region's larger river systems.
