About this map

Paradise Mine and a cluster of nearby workings define the industrial character of this southwestern Oregon landscape. The terrain is marked by steep ridges and narrow gulches where mining activity flourished, evidenced by the Gold Pan Placer Mine, Little Jim Mine, and the Gem Quartz Mine situated near the confluence of Grayback Creek and Sucker Creek. These waterways, along with Lake Creek, flow through a region defined by prominent peaks such as Kerby Peak and Squaw Mountain.

Logistical footprints are visible through features like Hendershots Airstrip and a network of Bureau of Land Management roads, including W White Creek Rd and Little Grayback Rd. Smaller settlements and waypoints like Camp Grayback, Oregon Bar, and Babcock Cabin are positioned along the creek beds and lower elevations, illustrating how the search for minerals and timber shaped the local geography. The map provides a detailed look at the drainage patterns of the South Fork Deer Creek and the deep relief of Lost Canyon.
