About this map

Carberry Creek winds through a landscape of steep timbered ridges and deep gulches in Jackson County, Oregon. The small settlement of Steamboat and the nearby Steamboat Ranch serve as central landmarks along the creek, accompanied by the Steamboat Cemetery, which preserves the names of early residents of this remote canyon. To the southeast, the terrain transitions into the recreation-focused areas surrounding Applegate Lake, where the shoreline is punctuated by Watkins and several access points like the Seattle Bar Trailhead.

The map reveals a dense network of Forest Service roads, including Nat For Dev Rd 1035, which provide access to isolated sites such as Joe Bar and the Hutton Campground along Elliott Creek. Historical mining and timber activity is suggested by features like Saw Pit Gulch, Quartz Gulch, and China Gulch, reflecting the region's extraction-based heritage before it became a hub for outdoor recreation and public land management.
