2017 Map of Cleveland Ridge

About this map

Cleveland Ridge and the surrounding Jackson County highlands are defined by a complex drainage network within the southern reaches of the Umpqua National Forest. The topography is marked by several significant peaks and ridges, including Board Mtn and Round Top, with the high point of Railroad Gap serving as a notable geographical landmark near the northern boundary. The landscape is primarily shaped by the headwaters and tributaries of several creeks, most notably Evans Cr, which is served by a network of forest roads like E Fork Evans Creek Rd and Evans Creek Rd. Smaller water sources such as Snowshoe Spring and Cold Spring dot the higher elevations. The presence of Buck Flat suggests one of the few level areas in this otherwise mountainous terrain, providing a point of reference for those tracing historical land use or timber access in the region during the early twenty-first century.
