About this map

Elliott State Forest dominates the landscape of the Oregon Coast Range in this mid-1980s study, showcasing a complex network of ridges and drainages where Coos and Douglas counties meet. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Elk Peak and Dean Mountain, which anchor a series of long, finger-like ridges including Umpcoos Ridge and Scholfield Ridge. These heights separate the various forks of the Millicoma River and Scholfield Creek, illustrating a classic Pacific Northwest watershed system in its working forest state.

Evidence of infrastructure is centered around a Radio Tower near the summit of Elk Peak, while the valley floors are marked by small water features like Gould Lake and named tributaries such as Schoolhouse Cr. The map's detail reveals the intersection of public land management and natural topography, tracing the State Forest Boundary as it winds through the headwaters of Glenn Creek and Silver Creek.
