2024 Map of Lane Mountain

About this map

Lane Mountain and Buck Peak dominate this portion of the western Cascades within Douglas County. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems, with North Myrtle Creek and the South Fork Deer Creek carving deep valleys across the terrain. Heavy forest management is evident through the extensive system of Bureau of Land Management routes, including Buckhorn Rd and numerous numbered spurs that provide access to the timberlands. The southeastern corner contains a portion of the Umpqua National Forest, where the terrain begins to transition toward the higher elevations of the range. Notable water bodies such as Cavitt Creek and McKay Creek feed into the regional river systems, while the Buck Fork Trl offers a rare non-motorized corridor through the drainage of Buck Fork. This survey highlights the complex relationship between industrial timber access and protected forest lands in contemporary Oregon.
