2014 Map of Brown Mountain

About this map

Winema National Forest and the Rogue River National Forest meet along the high divide of the Southern Cascades, where the boundary between Jackson and Klamath counties follows the crest. This high-elevation landscape is defined by volcanic features like Brown Mountain, Robinson Butte, and Cox Butte. A significant portion of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through these forests, crossing a network of resource roads such as Brown Mountain Rd and Big Elk Rd. Water sources are sparse but critical in this volcanic terrain, including the Manley Reservoir and the seasonal flows of Daley Cr and Beaver Dam Cr. The map captures the quiet transition of Daley Prairie, where the topography softens before climbing toward the prominent peak of Burton Butte in the east.
