2020 Map of Groundhog Mountain

About this map

Willamette National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape in Lane County, dominated by a series of prominent peaks and complex drainage networks. Groundhog Mtn and its neighbor Little Groundhog Mtn stand at the center of the quadrangle, surrounded by other significant heights like Buck Mtn, Moss Mtn, and the appropriately named Logger Butte. The hydrology of the area is defined by the headwaters of numerous creeks, including the Middle Fork, Swift Cr, and Simpson Cr. The presence of Waterdog Lake and the open space of Joes Prairie provide unique ecological markers amidst the dense contour lines of the Cascades. This mapping shows a managed wilderness where forest roads navigate between Juniper Ridge and the various forks of Groundhog Cr, illustrating the modern topographic state of Oregon's timberlands.
