About this map

McConville Peak and Sardine Mtn anchor this Jackson County landscape, overlooking a series of deep drainage gulches and ridges that feed into the larger creek systems. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the Middle Fork Sardine Cr and Evans Creek, which carve through the high elevations. Local infrastructure is primarily represented by winding forest roads such as Sykes Creek Rd and May Creek Rd, tracing the paths of early settlers and timber access.

In the southern reaches, Gregory Reservoir and the adjacent Holcomb Springs mark a rare concentration of permanent water features in this mountainous terrain. The map records several family-named landmarks like McConville Gulch and Ramsey Canyon, offering genealogical markers for those tracing roots in the Sams Valley vicinity. The survey also highlights the distinct divides between townships, including t34s r3w and t35s r4w.
