1989 Map of Dumont Creek

About this map

Umpqua National Forest defines the character of this Douglas County landscape, where the South Fork Umpqua River carves through a complex network of drainages. The area is heavily marked by industrial forestry and resource extraction, evidenced by numerous quarries and borrow pits scattered across the ridges. Early recreation sites are established at the Boulder Creek Campground and Dumont Creek Campground, providing access to the deep interior of the Cascades. Notable topographical landmarks like Smith Ridge, Boulder Rock, and Clayton Point overlook a system of watercourses including Dumont Creek, Budd Creek, and the isolated Shadow Pond. The eastern boundary is defined by the Willamette Meridian, a critical surveying line for Oregon land claims, while names like Adit Creek hint at the area's prospector history and mineral exploration.
