2014 Map of Harness Mountain

About this map

The Calapooya Divide serves as a prominent geographic spine in this 2014 survey, marking the rugged boundary between the Coast Fork Willamette River drainage to the north and the Little River system to the south. This transition zone between the Southern Willamette Valley and the Umpqua Basin is defined by steep ridges and numerous timber access routes, including Big River Rd and various BLM roads that crisscross the terrain. Historically significant landmarks include the Bemis Cem and Rouse Bridge, located near the intersection of London Rd and the headwaters of the Willamette. The presence of peaks like Black Butte, Cinnabar Mtn, and Harness Mountain indicates the area's complex volcanic and mineral history, while the proximity of the Douglas and Lane county line highlights the map's position at a key administrative junction in the Oregon Cascades.
