2020 Map of Loon Lake

About this map

Ash Valley and the small settlement of Ash are central to this 2020 map of Douglas County, located in a region defined by steep drainages and isolated landmarks. The namesake Loon Lake dominates the northwest, fed by Double Barrel Cr and Camp Creek, while distinct geological features like Beehive Rock and Saint Patricks Rock rise from the surrounding terrain. The landscape is a network of ridges and watercourses, including the notable Platinum Falls along Baker Creek. To the south, the map follows the winding path of Lake Creek as it crosses the boundary between Douglas and Coos counties. This modern topographic study illustrates the persistence of remote timber and forest access routes, such as Elk Ridge Forest Road and Loon Lake Road, which trace the high ground of Umpcoos Ridge and connect these narrow mountain valleys.
