About this map

Siuslaw National Forest encompasses much of this interior landscape along the border of Lane and Douglas Counties. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses, most notably the North Fork Smith River and its tributaries like Kentucky Creek and Sheep Herder Creek. Elevation reaches its peaks at Baldy Mtn and Mt Grayback, while prominent landforms such as Hadsall Ridge and Smittie Ridge dictate the flow of local creeks toward the coast.

A system of forest development and logging roads, including BLM RD 1 and Nat For Dev RD 23, provides access to the backcountry. Of particular interest to hikers and nature enthusiasts is the Kentucky Falls Trail, which connects three distinct waterfalls: Upper Kentucky Falls, Lower Kentucky Falls, and North Fork Falls. This modern survey reflects the ongoing management of these timberlands and protected recreation areas, documenting the drainage patterns of the Middle Fork North Fork Smith River and Sweet Creek in their contemporary state.
