2017 Map of Dutchman Butte

About this map

Dutchman Butte and Ninemile Mtn anchor this high-elevation landscape where the boundaries of Douglas, Curry, and Josephine counties meet. The terrain is defined by a dense network of timber access roads and ridges, including the Panther Ridge Mainline and Hayes Ridge, which overlook the deep drainages of W Fork Cow Cr and Dutchman Crk. The presence of Dutchman Lo and the Calvert Peak Airport suggests the critical importance of fire observation and aerial access in this heavily forested region. Unique topographical openings like Walker Prairie and Jackass Prairie provide distinct breaks in the timber. Historically significant for its connection to early forest management and the timber industry, the map also details numerous small drainages such as Goat Trail Cr and Honeysuckle Cr that feed into the larger river systems of Southern Oregon.
