About this map

The Rogue River and Clearwater River headwaters converge in this mid-century survey of the Cascade Range, where the Umpqua National Forest and Rogue River National Forest meet the western edge of Crater Lake National Park. The landscape is defined by its early forest management and fire suppression infrastructure, including the Big Camas Ranger Sta and lookouts at Garwood Butte and Skookum Prairie Lookout.

A network of pack trails, such as the Rattlesnake Trail and Minnehaha-Hurryon Trail, crisscrosses the high elevations between named peaks like Hershberger Mtn and Buckneck Mtn. Transportation of the era is represented by the remote Toketee Airstrip near the Gaging Station. Notable natural landmarks including Watson Falls and the geological anomaly Hole-in-the-ground suggest a terrain shaped by volcanic activity and drainage patterns.
