1946 Map of Dutchman Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Dutchman Butte Lookout and Ninemile Mtn Lookout stand as prominent fire watch points overlooking the convergence of Douglas, Josephine, and Curry Counties in the mid-1940s. This survey of the Siskiyou National Forest reveals a landscape managed through remote outposts like the Bradford Warden Sta and Middle Creek Warden Sta. High ridges including Emerson Ridge and Sixmile Ridge separate a complex network of drainages, where the Middle Fork Coquille River and Cow Creek carve deep through the terrain. The presence of several meadows, such as Walker Prairie, Jackass Prairie, and Horse Prairie, indicates breaks in the heavy timber that defined this era of Pacific Northwest forestry. These specific geographic benchmarks and station names provide essential context for researchers tracing the early 20th-century history of forest service operations and land use in southern Oregon.
