About this map

Mount David Douglas dominates this high-elevation landscape in Lane County, Oregon, where the headwaters of the Salt Creek drainage system carve through the terrain. The 2011 survey reveals a territory defined by distinctive geological and botanical landmarks, including the curiously named Hells Half Acre, Verdun Rock, and Rhododendron Island. Small settlements and named locations such as Beamer Ranch, Frazier, and Heather appear along the lower elevations, while higher reaches are marked by open spaces like Cornpatch Prairie and Big Bunchgrass.

The hydrography of the region is intricate, with numerous tributaries such as Black Creek, Eagle Creek, and Coyote Creek feeding into the larger creek systems. Isolated bodies of water like Spirit Lake and Lucas Lake provide clear reference points for those tracking the high-country hydrology. Transportation is limited to a network of forest routes, most notably Usfs RD 5884, which provides access through the rugged drainages of the South Fork Salt Creek.
