About this map

The settlement of Golden lies at the heart of this landscape, positioned where Coyote Cr meets the intersection of numerous gulches and canyons. To the south, the community of Placer sits along the banks of Grave Cr, anchored by the Placer Cem and the nearby Quartz Mill Gulch. This area is defined by a complex network of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) roads that navigate the high peaks of Saint Paul Mtn and Saint Peter Mtn.

The map reveals a history of resource extraction and transit through labels like Panning Gulch, Sourdough Gulch, and the Stage Road Pass on the boundary between Josephine and Douglas counties. Water management is evident through features such as Strong Reservoir, Lehman Reservoir, and Seeseh Reservoir, while numerous springs including Mountain Spring and Browning Spring dot the terrain, illustrating the vital role of water in this mountainous region.
