About this map

Mt Thielsen dominates this section of the Cascade Range on the boundary between Douglas and Klamath counties. This 2023 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details a high-elevation landscape defined by significant peaks and ridges, including Tipsoo Peak, Howlock Mtn, and the sharp profile of Sawtooth Ridge. The area serves as a major recreational corridor where the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trl traverses the crest, intersected by local routes like the Mt Thielsen Trl and Howlock Mtn Trl.

Lower elevations and volcanic features such as Cinnamon Butte provide specialized terrain for winter recreation, indicated by the Cinnamon Butte Xc-Ski Trl and Wits End Way Xc-Ski Trl. This map illustrates the intersection of three major federal land designations: the Umpqua National Forest, Winema National Forest, and the protected Mount Thielsen Wilderness. Drainage networks for Thielsen Creek, Spruce Creek, and Porcupine Creek are meticulously mapped as they flow from the high divides.
