1998 Map of Garwood Butte

About this map

Garwood Butte rises as a central landmark within this high-elevation landscape of the Umpqua National Forest and Rogue River National Forest. The late 1990s terrain is defined by its complex drainage network, where the Clearwater River and tributaries like Watson Creek and Rough Creek carve through the timberland. Cultural features are primarily linked to forest management and resource extraction, evidenced by numerous Quarry sites and the Gaging Station along the river. Pockets of open space such as Dog Prairie and Skookum Prairie offer a break from the dense drainages of Devils Canyon. Recreational and historical markers like Old Man Camp and the scenic Whitehorse Falls suggest the area's long-standing use for backcountry access and transit, while water bodies like Skookum Lake and Three Lakes provide focal points for those tracing the wilderness topography of Douglas County.
