About this map

Little Chinquapin Mountain stands at the center of this high-elevation landscape within the Rogue River National Frst, where water management and timber access define the local geography. The complex infrastructure of the Howard Prairie Canal and the Howard Prairie Dam highlights the mid-century engineering used to divert water across this mountainous divide. The map details a network of vital springs such as Big Springs, Jenny Creek Spring, and Fredenburg Spring that feed into Jenny Creek and Johnson Creek.

Tracing the southern edge near the Pinehurst Cemetery, the map transitions from active national forest land to more established local markers. Recreation and transit are recorded through the passage of the Pacific Crest Trl and various forest service routes like Moon Prairie Rd and Keno Access Rd. Remote clearings like Johnson Prairie and Puckett Glade provide specific points of reference for researchers tracking historical land use or family connections to the high Cascades.
