About this map

Cow Creek carves a deep path through this Douglas County landscape, serving as a primary drainage for the surrounding heights of the Southern Oregon interior. In the late 1980s, the area remained a rugged mosaic of timbered ridges and steep canyons, with activity centered on the lower elevations near the water. Small settlements like Byers and Peck are situated along the riverbanks, while the historical Dads Creek (Site) suggests a legacy of earlier habitation or resource management near the junction of Little Dads Creek and Dads Creek.

Resource extraction and backcountry access are evident through several identified quarries and borrow pits, as well as a network of 4wd roads threading through the high country. Significant peaks like Live Oak Mountain, Table Mountain, and Iron Mountain dominate the skyline, while numerous named tributaries such as Olalla Creek, Willingham Creek, and Wildcat Creek illustrate the complex watershed of this mountainous terrain.
