About this map

Mount Reuben and the surrounding high country of the Southern Oregon Coast Range define this 2017 survey at the border of Douglas and Josephine counties. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of gulches and creeks, including California Gulch, China Gulch, and Gold Bug Gulch, which reflect the region's long history of mineral exploration and prospecting. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the course of the Rogue River, where it meets Grave Creek at the notable Grave Creek Bridge.

Resource extraction and backcountry access are evident through a complex system of Bureau of Land Management routes like BLM RD 33-8-13 and the Glendale Mt Reuben Road. Higher elevations reveal specific terrain features such as Hungry Hill, Perkins Prairie, and Sawmill Gap. Numerous natural springs, including Tibbetts Spring and Bear Spring, are documented across the ridges, providing essential water sources in this steep, forested terrain.
