1997 Map of Hamaker Butte

About this map

Rogue River National Forest and the Umpqua National Forest meet in this 1990s survey, defined by the intricate hydrology of the upper Rogue River basin. The landscape is marked by the presence of several established campsites and historical locations, such as the Hurryon Camp (Site) and Muir Camp. A network of trails and primitive roads connects these points of interest, including the Bert Creek Trail and the Rogue-Umpqua Scenic Byway, which skirts the western edge of the high country. Dramatic elevation changes are highlighted by named peaks like Hamaker Butte and Sherwood Butte, while the water features transition from quiet spots like Soda Springs and Bobs Bog to the vertical drops of Cascade Falls and Mazama Falls. The northeastern corner of the map touches the boundary of Crater Lake National Park near Crescent Ridge, marking a significant intersection of federal land management during this era.
