2011 Map of Deer Head Point

About this map

The Umpqua River snakes through this portion of Douglas County, defining the geography around Deer Head Point. This 2011 survey captures a landscape of steep timbered ridges and deep canyons, where the river widens around Echo Island and flows past the landmark Brandy Bar. The terrain is characterized by prominent elevations such as Skagit Ridge and Lunch Ridge, which overlook a dense network of tributaries including Johnson Creek and Harvey Creek. Human presence is marked by a handful of remote access routes like Johanneson Creek Rd and Dean Ridge Rd, serving the timber and recreation interests along the river corridor. To the east, the dramatic topography drops into Devils Club Canyon, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that feed into the Umpqua system.
