2017 Map of Dumont Creek

About this map

The South Umpqua River and its network of mountain tributaries dominate this corner of the Umpqua National Forest. The landscape is defined by the steep elevation changes between high points like Clayton Point and Hob Knob and the deep drainage basins of Dumont Creek and Boulder Creek. This 2017 survey documents an extensive system of National Forest Development Roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 800 and Nat For Dev Rd 300, which provide access to timber resources and high ridges including Smith Ridge. The density of these service roads indicates the intensive management of these Douglas County timberlands, while specialized routes like Smith Ridge Rd and the Sam Cr Loop trail suggest a geography utilized for both industry and backcountry recreation. Named features like Boulder Rock and various creek confluences along the river provide fixed reference points for local navigation within the dense forest canopy.
