About this map

Oregon Caves National Monument and Preserve anchors the western edge of this 2020 landscape, marking a transition into the high-elevation wilderness of the Siskiyou National Forest and Rogue River National Forest. High peaks including Mt Elijah and Lake Mountain define the drainage basins for numerous water systems, such as Sturgis Fork, Grayback Creek, and Steve Fork.

Several remote water bodies are scattered across these ridges, including Miller Lake, Little Miller Lake, and Hinkle Lake. The map reveals a complex network of forest roads and trails, such as the Boundary Trail and the Sucker Creek Shortcut, which navigate through open areas like Elkhorn Prairie and Bee Flat. This document captures the modern state of these protected lands, highlighting the springs, gaps, and glades that serve as vital landmarks in this undeveloped stretch of Josephine County.
