About this map

Umpqua National Forest defines the high-elevation landscape of this 1985 survey, where the Clearwater River and its numerous tributaries cut through Douglas County's backcountry. The map illustrates a region primarily shaped by timber and water resources, evidenced by the presence of Old Man Camp and several identified Gravel Pit locations used for forest road maintenance. Prominent landmarks such as Garwood Butte and Trap Mountain rise above a network of drainages including Watson Creek and Bear Creek.

Hydrological features are particularly dense here, ranging from the cascade at Whitehorse Falls to smaller catchments like Skookum Lake and Stump Lake. The transition into the National Rogue River Forest along the southern boundary highlights the importance of these managed lands. For those studying the history of Oregon's national forests, this map preserves the locations of high-country clearings like Dog Prairie and Beartrap Meadow before modern changes in forest management.
