2011 Map of Dutchman Creek

About this map

Cat Mountain dominates the central landscape of this Jefferson County territory, presiding over a complex network of forest roads and drainages in the Ochoco National Forest region. The map highlights a high-elevation environment characterized by numerous seasonal and perennial water sources, including Ochillee Spring, Dutchman Spring, and Aldrich Spring. These water points were critical for early ranching and forestry operations, supporting sites like the Trout Creek Cow Camp in the northeast. The terrain is defined by broad plateaus such as Boxcar Flats and Highland Flat, which are bisected by steep drainages including Dutchman Creek and Foley Creek. A modern infrastructure of timber and access roads, such as Summit Rd and Little McKay Rd, follows the ridges and creek beds, tracing the routes used for land management and recreation in the early 21st century.
