About this map

Mule Mtn and Stein Butte dominate the landscape of the Rogue River National Forest along the border of Oregon and California. This terrain is defined by the canyon of the Applegate River and its numerous drainages, including Mule Cr, Palmer Cr, and Squaw Cr. The southern portion of the area features Applegate Lake, a significant reservoir that transformed the local hydrology and access patterns.

Evidence of early mountain travel and timber infrastructure is visible in the network of ridges and passes, such as Hanley Gap and Mingo Gap. Notable landmarks include the distinctive Iron Hand and the depression known as Hole in the Ground. Further east, the Squaw Lakes sit below Squaw Peak, while Summit Lake rests near the state line, providing a detailed look at the water resources and landforms within Jackson Co and Siskiyou Co.
