About this map

Hamaker Butte dominates this Douglas County landscape, where high-elevation terrain is defined by a complex network of volcanic ridges and spring-fed water systems. The upper reaches of the Rogue River snake through the quadrangle, joined by numerous tributaries including Hurryon Creek, National Creek, and Minnehaha Creek. This 2011 survey documents a geography primarily utilized for seasonal forestry and recreation, evidenced by the distribution of several established sites such as Muir Camp, Log Camp, and Bear Camp.

Infrastructure is sparse, centered on the corridor of the Old Diamond Lake Rd, which provides access to the Haymaker Campground and nearby Soda Spring. Notable landmarks like Muir Creek Falls and Buck Rock illustrate the varied geology of the High Cascades. For researchers and outdoorsmen, the map clearly delineates the boundaries between named clearings like Hamaker Meadows and Park Meadows and the surrounding timbered heights of Minnehaha Ridge and Razor Ridge.
