2017 Map of McConville Peak

About this map

McConville Peak stands as the central landmark in this drainage basin where Evans Creek meets a complex network of named gulches and hollows. The settlement of Wimer sits at the western edge of the sheet, serving as a gateway to the narrow valleys of Sykes Cr and Evans Creek Rd. The landscape is defined by its water resources, from the high Hillis Peak Spr and Holcomb Springs to the irrigation potential found at Blair Reservoir and Gregory Reservoir. Moving eastward toward Sams Valley, the terrain transitions into more established roadway networks like Sams Cr and Holcomb Springs Rd. The map documents a rugged interior divided by numerous family-named landmarks such as Neathammer Gulch, Davies Gulch, and Braton Hollow, illustrating the historical reliance on these specific topographical breaks for navigation and settlement in the southern Oregon mountains.
