About this map

Dolly Sods defines the high-altitude landscape of this 2011 survey, a region characterized by its plateau-like terrain and significant hydrological headwaters. The map tracks the upper reaches of the Stony River, which feeds into the Stony River Reservoir in the north. This area is a critical drainage divide, where waters flow toward different watersheds via Red Creek and the South Fork Lunice Creek.

The settlement of Jordan Run and the adjacent Jordan Run watercourse anchor the eastern edge of the quadrangle. Recreational and navigational landmarks are prominent, including the Red Creek Campground and striking geologic features such as Stack Rock, Bear Rocks, and the namesake Blackbird Knob. Access to these remote elevations is maintained by a network of forest and county routes, including Pub Rd 75 and Cabin Mt Dr, which navigate the high ridges.
