About this map

Mt Mc Loughlin dominates the northeast quadrant of this mid-century survey, surrounded by the high-elevation terrain of the Rogue River National Forest. The landscape is a network of water and timber infrastructure, including the Willow Creek Reservoir and numerous forest camps such as Calamity Forest Camp and Willow Prairie Forest Camp. For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves the locations of early 20th-century outposts like Swede Cabin and the Deadwood townsite.

Lava flows extend from Brown Mtn, contrasting with the open meadowlands of Short Creek Prairie and Grizzly Prairie. Recreational and fire-management history is well-represented by the Fish Lake Resort, Dead Indian Soda Springs, and fire lookouts at Buck Point Lookout and Robinson Butte Lookout. The intricate drainage systems of North Fork Little Butte Creek and Indian Creek define the rugged valleys throughout this part of Jackson and Klamath counties.
