About this map

The S Umpqua River and its myriad tributaries define this high-elevation landscape within the Umpqua National Forest. The area is characterized by a dense network of Forest Service roads, such as Nfst-2831510, which provide access to remote mountain landmarks like Grasshopper Mtn and the adjacent Grasshopper Meadow. Water is a central feature of the terrain, ranging from the prominent Buckeye Lake and Fish Lake to smaller basins like Cliff Lake and Alligator Lake.

Evidence of recreational and resource management infrastructure is visible at Camp Comfort and across the Acker Divide. The map details the complex drainage patterns of the region, including the Castle-Rock Fork and Skimmerhorn Cr, which flow through deep valleys separated by ridges like the Rocky Rim. This topographic study provides a clear look at the hydraulic and terrestrial features of the Oregon Cascades in the early 21st century.
