1988 Map of Brown Mountain

About this map

Brown Mtn dominates the northeastern landscape of this territory, where the volcanic terrain meets the high timberlands of the Southern Cascades in the late 1980s. The map documents a rugged high-country intersection of water and passage, marked by the confluence of the South Fork and Little Butte Creek. Evidence of federal land management and recreational infrastructure is central to the sheet, featuring the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail as it winds through the Winema National Forest. A series of significant high-altitude openings, including Big Elk Meadow, Daley Prairie, and Deadwood Prairie, punctuate the heavy forest cover. These natural clearings provided critical points for administrative outposts like the Big Elk FS Station and road connections at Deadwood Junction. The presence of the Jackson Co Klamath Co line indicates the administrative boundary between these two southern Oregon regions.
