2011 Map of Murphy Mountain

About this map

The Applegate River winds through the northern portion of this Josephine County landscape, serving as a primary corridor for early settlement roads such as Southside Rd and Wetherbee Rd. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks, including the central Eagle Mountain and Roundtop Mountain, which overlook a complex network of drainages like Jackson Creek and Bull Creek. To the west, Marble Mountain and Cheney Creek mark a rugged geography where timber and transit intersect. The southern reaches are characterized by the Deer Creek basin and the distinctive Murphy Mountain, providing a detailed look at the rural infrastructure of southern Oregon. Numerous Bureau of Land Management routes, such as BLM 38-6-18 Rd, demonstrate the historical importance of forest management and access in this region of the Klamath Mountains.
