2024 Map of Deer Head Point

About this map

The Umpqua River carves a deep path through the coastal mountains of Douglas County, defining the landscape around Brandy Bar and Echo Island. This modern survey illustrates a heavily protected corridor where the Devil's Staircase Wilderness and Siuslaw National Forest preserve the dense drainage systems of the Oregon Coast Range. Specialized conservation designations are prominent, including the Wasson Wild and Scenic River and the Franklin Creek Wild and Scenic River, protecting the headwaters and tributaries that feed the primary river system. High ridges like Skagit Ridge, Lunch Ridge, and Umpqua Ridge separate the steep canyons of Brainard Creek and Cedar Creek. While the area remains largely undeveloped, access is maintained via the Loon Lake Rd and timber-related routes such as Dean Ridge Rd.
