2017 Map of Fish Creek Desert

About this map

Umpqua National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape, where the Fish Creek Reservoir and the Fish Creek Canal represent the managed water resources of the Cascades. The topography is defined by significant features like The Jumpoff and Rhododendron Ridge, while the Toketee State Airport provides a rare point of aviation infrastructure in this heavily timbered area. The settlement of Happy Valley sits on the eastern edge of the quadrangle near Watson Falls, offering a point of human history among the numerous drainages such as Slipper Creek and Black Rock Fork. For researchers, the map details an extensive network of Forest Service roads, including Nat For Dev Rd 100 and Big Camas Rd, which facilitate access to remote landmarks like Whitehorse Meadows and Wolf Lake.
