2023 Map of Dutchman Peak

About this map

Dutchman Peak and the surrounding high country of the Rogue River National Forest and Klamath National Forest anchor this survey of the Oregon-California border. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage systems, where headwaters like Beaver Creek and Silver Fork carve deep through the terrain. A network of high-elevation meadows and glades, including Kenney Meadows, Sally Glade, and Kettle Belly Glade, suggests a history of seasonal grazing and forest management. The presence of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trl crossing through Observation Gap and near Donomore Peak highlights the area's role as a critical corridor for backcountry travel. Notable landmarks such as Deadmans Point and Acorn Woman Mtn provide essential orientation points for understanding the topographical relationship between the Yellowjacket Ridge and the Silver Fork Basin at the state line.
