2023 Map of Dutchman Peak

About this map

The Rogue River National Forest and Klamath National Forest converge on this high-altitude landscape along the Oregon-California border. This terrain is defined by a dense network of gulches and ridges, where the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trl traverses the crest near Dutchman Peak and Observation Peak. The map illustrates the specialized vocabulary of the high Cascades, featuring numerous "glades" such as Sally Glade, Kettle Belly Glade, and Quaken Asp Glade, which typically signify open meadows within the heavy timber. Named points like Deadmans Point and Teel Gap mark the difficult passage between drainages like Yale Creek and the Silver Fork. This modern survey records the enduring boundary between Jackson and Siskiyou Counties, preserving the remote character of the Siskiyou Mountains.
