About this map

Coleman Rim and the prominent Coleman Point anchor this mid-century survey of the high-elevation forest landscape in southern Oregon. Located within the Fremont National Forest, the map details a region defined by its reliance on natural springs and seasonal drainages. Established sites like the Dairy Creek Guard Sta and Happy Camp reflect the administrative and recreational management of the timberlands, while the inclusion of the Anderson Ranch and Murphy Ranch highlights the presence of private holdings and grazing history within the federal forest boundaries.

A network of jeep trails and remote camps such as Shepard Camp suggests a landscape navigated by foresters and hunters. The terrain is deeply carved by several watercourses, including Dairy Creek and Deadhorse Creek, which are fed by numerous named water sources like Grasshopper Spring and Blonde Spring. Traces of earlier resource exploration appear through scattered prospect labels and a Drill Hole near Grasshopper Flat, marking the intersection of wilderness and industrial interest.
