2011 Map of Harrington Creek

About this map

Brown Mountain overlooks a landscape defined by the drainage networks of Douglas County, where the headwaters of the Calapooia and Rock Creek systems converge. This area is characterized by its complex hydrology, featuring the Middle Fork Calapooia Creek and South Fork Calapooia Creek in the northwest, alongside numerous tributaries like Twin Cedar Creek and Cleft Creek to the east. Bureau of Land Management routes, including BLM 1.0 Rd and BLM 16.0 Rd, provide the primary access into these steep timberlands. The naming conventions of the waterways—such as Hurry-Up Creek, Cobble Creek, and Pebble Creek—reflect the local character of these mountain streams. Researchers can trace the winding course of Harrington Creek and Shoup Creek as they flow south toward Rock Creek Rd, illustrating the intersection of modern forestry infrastructure and the natural watershed.
