2004 Map of Hager Mountain

About this map

Hager Mountain Lookout stands as a primary sentinel over this high-elevation landscape in south-central Oregon. The transition from the flat, low-lying marshes and ranchlands near Silver Lake to the steep, forested slopes of Mahogany Mountain and Hager Mountain is sharply defined. The Fremont National Forest boundary divides the northern rangelands from the timbered heights, where the Fremont National Recreation Trail winds through the terrain. Evidence of rural infrastructure and water management is seen at the Gaging Station and Bunyard Crossing on Silver Creek, alongside several cinder and gravel pits that supported local road maintenance. The presence of the Chase Spring Administrative Reserve and a Communication Tower further marks this as a managed forest landscape, while family-named sites like Gowdy Ranch ground the map in the region's agricultural history.
