2017 Map of Hinkle Creek

About this map

Hawthorne and its surrounding drainages in Douglas County are documented here as of 2017, showing a landscape defined by industrial forest management and steep creek valleys. The drainage systems of Calapooya Creek and Hinkle Creek carve through the terrain, separated by prominent elevations such as Timothy Ridge, Taylor Ridge, and Haney Ridge. This modern survey details the extensive network of Bureau of Land Management roads, including BLM RD 24 3 31 and BLM RD 25 4 19 0, which provide access to the timberlands and distinctive peaks like Gobblers Knob, The Buttes, and Yellow Butte. The map illustrates how current land use remains tied to the local watercourses, from Buzzard Roost Cr to S Fork Hinkle Cr, reflecting the region's long-standing reliance on its natural topography and resource-based infrastructure.
