About this map

Fish Mountain stands as a central topographic anchor where the boundaries of the Umpqua National Forest and Rogue River National Forest converge. This 2014 survey documents a complex high-elevation landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep creek drainages, such as the Castle Rock Fork and the extensive Fish Creek Valley to the northeast. Notable terrain features like Rabbit Ears and the curiously named Hole in the Ground suggest a geological character unique to this portion of the Cascades.

Evidence of human access is limited to a network of Forest Service development roads, including Nat For Dev Rd 297, which thread through the drainage basins of Foster Creek and Hershberger Cr. Small, isolated water bodies like Toad Lake and Triangle Lake are scattered across the higher elevations, while named meadows like Alkali Meadows and Pup Prairie provide distinct breaks in the dense forest cover near Highrock Mtn and Hershberger Mtn.
