2020 Map of Mount Reuben

About this map

The Rogue River cuts across the southern portion of this terrain, marked by the prominent Grave Creek Bridge and the turbulent waters of Grave Creek Falls. This steep landscape at the boundary of Douglas and Josephine counties is defined by its network of deep drainages and ridges, including the peak of Mt Reuben. A history of resource extraction and pioneer activity is evident in the naming of numerous gulches such as Gold Bug Gulch, California Gulch, and Ajax Gulch, likely indicating the mining interests that once moved through these canyons. North of the river, the land rises toward Perkins Prairie and the aptly named Hungry Hill. Transportation in this remote area relies on a system of forest roads, including Cow Creek Rd and Lower Graves Creek Rd, which follow the natural contours of the creeks and ridges.
