2020 Map of Imnaha Creek

About this map

Rogue River National Forest dominates this landscape in Jackson County, where a complex network of tributaries feeds the Middle Fork Rogue River. The area is defined by sharp topographic changes, from the heights of Mudjekeewis Mtn and Gopher Ridge to the low-lying Black Bear Swamp. Water is the primary feature of this region, with named springs like Geyser Spring and Fantail Spring surfacing throughout the timbered slopes. Hikers and researchers can trace the path of the Mudjekeewis Trail as it skirts the northeastern peaks near Kerby Hill. The southern portion of the map reveals a high concentration of water sources, including Big Ben Cr and Aspen Spring, illustrating the hydrologic importance of this forest territory. The presence of Alta Lake and numerous branches of Walla Walla Cr underscores the area's role as a vital watershed.
