About this map

McConville Peak and Sardine Mtn anchor this Jackson County landscape, where the drainage networks of Evans Creek and the various forks of Sardine Creek define the topography. The map reveals a region managed largely for timber and resource access, marked by an extensive system of Bureau of Land Management roads such as BLM 35-3-5.0 and BLM 34-4-24. In the southeast, the terrain softens into Sams Valley, a significant local geographic feature that contrasts with the steep gulches found elsewhere.

Water management is evident through features like Blair Reservoir and Gregory Reservoir, while numerous family-named landmarks such as Davies Gulch, Taylor Gulch, and Murphy Gulch suggest a history of early settlement and land claims. The transition from high points like Black Butte down through Ramsey Canyon illustrates the complex vertical relief of the southern Oregon interior, providing a detailed record of the physical and administrative boundaries of the T34S and T35S townships.
