1986 Map of Cedar Springs Mtn

About this map

Umpqua National Forest defines the heavily dissected landscape of this 1986 survey, where the border between Douglas Co and Jackson Co traverses the southern ridges. The drainage patterns are intricate, dominated by Cow Creek and its many tributaries, including Snow Creek, Meadow Creek, and the aptly named Dismal Creek. Isolated outposts of human activity are sparse, represented by Koch Ranch and Devils Flat, while the higher elevations are marked by distinctive peaks such as Cedar Springs Mtn, Red Mountain with its Lookout House, and the prominent Castle Rock. In the northern reaches, The Meadows provides a rare break in the timbered terrain near the banks of Cow Creek. This map is a significant record of the forest's interior before modern developments, showing the reliance on 4wd tracks and primitive routes to access remote areas like Ike Butte and Green Butte.
