About this map

Mount Thielsen dominates the high Cascades on the boundary of Douglas and Klamath counties, serving as the topographical focal point for the surrounding Mount Thielsen Wilderness. This area, revised at the close of the 20th century, illustrates a landscape defined by sharp volcanic ridges and glacial remnants like Lathrop Glacier. The map details the convergence of three major forest management areas: Umpqua National Forest, Winema National Forest, and the Oregon Cascades Recreation Area.

High-altitude landmarks such as Sawtooth Ridge and Hollys Ridge overlook the winding Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail. Trace the drainage patterns of numerous headwaters, including Thielsen Creek and Cottonwood Creek, which flow from these heights. Near the northern boundary, the presence of a Lookout on Cinnamon Butte and established sites like Thielsen Camp and Timothy Meadows suggest the long-standing use of these peaks for both fire surveillance and backcountry recreation.
