2011 Map of Mount Peavine

About this map

Mount Peavine dominates the high ground in this 2011 survey, a landscape defined by deep gulches and the legacy of resource extraction in Josephine County. The terrain is marked by numerous historic mining sites, including the Victor Mine, Sugar Pine Mine, and Gold Plate Mine, which are situated along the complex drainage systems of Quartz Creek and Birch Creek. A network of Bureau of Land Management roads, such as BLM 34-8-15 RD and BLM 35-8-2 RD, provides access to this remote interior, connecting landmarks like the Peavine Lookout and Peggler Butte. Evidence of forestry and seasonal occupation appears at Sourgrass Camp and Soldier Camp, while the natural topography includes prominent features like Hansen Saddle and the broad Lost Flat. Numerous waterways, including Galice Creek and the North Fork Silver Creek, carve the steep slopes, illustrating the hydrological patterns that have shaped both the physical environment and the local mining history.
