About this map

Little Chinquapin Mountain and the high plateaus of the southern Cascades define this landscape at the border of Jackson and Klamath counties. Part of the Rogue River National Forest, the area is marked by a complex network of forest roads and springs, including Fredenburg Spring and Jenny Creek Spring, which feed into the Jenny Creek drainage. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail traverses the western high ground, crossing over Grizzly Prairie Rd and passing through the meadows of Old Baldy.

Water management is a central feature of the terrain, as seen in the Howard Prairie Canal which winds across the topography. Further east, the open space of Johnson Prairie provides a distinct break in the forested slopes. In the southwestern corner, the Pinehurst Cem stands as a point of genealogical interest near the Green Springs Hwy, marking one of the few settled landmarks in this high-altitude environment.
