About this map

Grizzly Peak dominates this Jackson County landscape, overlooking a network of drainages and remote settlements in the late 1980s. The map documents small communities and outposts such as Shale City, Climax, and Antelope, which are connected by a system of unimproved 4wd tracks and forest roads. Natural features like Lucky Canyon and the South Fork Little Butte Creek define the topography, while resource extraction is evident at the Mine near Shale City and several Gravel Pit locations.

Infrastructure in this area is limited to a primary Transmission Line and a series of water management sites, including Lake Creek Reservoir and Lost Lake. The transition from the high terrain of Eagle Butte to the lower elevation of Big Glades illustrates the varying forest and meadow environments. This survey captures a specific era of land management and small-scale settlement before the further modernization of rural Oregon mountain access.
