About this map

Umpqua National Forest land dominates this 1998 survey, showcasing a landscape defined by high timber ridges and the complex drainage systems of the Oregon Cascades. The terrain is anchored by Chilcoot Ridge and the prominent Chilcoot Mountain, which serves as a literal high point and a site for the Chilcoot Mountain Comm Tower. The map details the divide between Lane Co and Douglas Co, tracing a remote boundary through dense topography where several named peaks like McKinley Rock and Johnson Butte rise above the watershed.

A network of resource extraction and recreation features is evident, with multiple labeled quarries and 4WD tracks dispersed among the headwaters. Water courses such as Steamboat Creek and Canton Creek carve through the steep elevations, punctuated by landmarks like Hipower Bluffs. The presence of the Steelhead Creek Campsite near the southern edge indicates the dual nature of this forest land as both a working landscape and a recreational destination during the late 20th century.
