About this map

Dutchman Peak stands as the prominent landmark along the crest where the Rogue River National Forest meets the Klamath National Forest. The landscape here is defined by high-elevation transition zones, marked by a series of open meadows and glades including Perks Pasture, Donomore Meadows, and Sally Glade. This high-country drainage is the headwaters for numerous creeks, such as Beaver Cr and Squaw Cr, which have carved out deep recesses like Texter Gulch and Sulphur Gulch.

The presence of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winding through the southern portion of the map highlights the area's importance for long-distance transit along the state line. Numerous natural springs, including Dutchman Spring and Yellowjacket Spring, provided critical water sources for the grazing and forestry operations that shaped the local history. Features like Squaw Mtn and Yellowjacket Ridge provide a clear view of the complex topography that defines this border region between Oregon and California.
