About this map

Rogue-Umpqua Divide Wilderness dominates this 1997 Forest Service revision, marking the high-altitude boundary between the Umpqua National Forest and Rogue River National Forest. The landscape is defined by its complex network of backcountry camps and shelters, such as Cripple Camp Shelter and Molasses Camp Meadow, which reflect the region's long history of forest management and outdoor recreation. A Lookout station at Hershberger Mountain underscores the strategic importance of fire observation along this ridge.

Evidence of geological and industrial activity appears via the Prospect Adit near Windy Gap and several scattered quarries. The drainage patterns are clearly delineated, with Fish Creek and Foster Creek carving through the terrain from prominent peaks like Fish Mountain and the distinctive Rabbit Ears. This survey preserves the exact placement of remote campsites like Wiley Campsite and Alkali Campsite as they existed before the turn of the millennium.
