1988 Map of Little Chinquapin Mtn

About this map

The high timberlands and volcanic peaks of the Rogue River National Forest dominate this landscape on the border of Jackson and Klamath counties. The southern reaches of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail wind along the western ridges, crossing through the Howard Prairie Recreation Area near Grizzly Prairie. The map captures a transition from the prominent height of Little Chinquapin Mtn down into the high meadow systems of Johnson Prairie. Significant water sources, essential for both the ecology and early resource extraction in the region, are meticulously identified, including Fredenburg Spring, Bluejay Spring, and Big Springs. The presence of the Pinder Pit and the Steel Tower Transmission Line indicates the late-20th-century intersection of public forest management with regional industrial infrastructure and energy corridors.
