2020 Map of Mace Mountain

About this map

Umpqua National Forest defines the geography of this Douglas County landscape, where the N Umpqua river cuts through high ridges and timbered valleys. The terrain is characterized by prominent peaks like Mace Mountain and Blitzen Butte, alongside sharp local landmarks such as Cougar Bluffs and Gobblers Knob. A complex network of Forest Service roads, including Canton Creek Rd and the Nat For Dev Rd 010, provides access to the interior for management and recreation. Water features are abundant, with Williams Creek and Cougar Creek draining the slopes into the larger river system. One notable recreational and geological highlight is Grotto Falls, located in the southern portion of the quadrangle near Emile Cr. This survey captures the remote character of the Cascades as managed for public use in the early twenty-first century, preserving the locations of backcountry roads and named ridges like Panther Ridge.
