About this map

The Applegate River flows through the northern reaches of this Josephine County landscape, carving a valley where the settlement of New Hope is established. The terrain is defined by significant elevations, including Murphy Mountain, Bolt Mtn, and Roundtop Mtn, with the drainages of Cheney Cr and Deer Cr cutting through the high country.

Resource-related infrastructure and land management are evident through labels like Crooks C-55 and various Bureau of Land Management routes such as BLM 37-7-34. The map provides a detailed view of the local drainage network, from S Fork Deer Cr to Stringer Creek, and documents the many named gulches like Rail Canyon and Packers Gulch that characterize the area's complex topography. This survey captures the intersection of rural development along the river and the expansive public lands to the south.
