2017 Map of Murphy Mountain

About this map

The Applegate River cuts through this corner of Josephine County, defining a landscape of prominent peaks and deep gulches. Near the small settlement of New Hope, several local roads like Keen Rd and Fish Hatchery Rd provide access to the river valley, while the surrounding terrain is dominated by significant summits including Bolt Mtn and Eagle Mtn. In the southern portion of the sheet, the topography climbs toward Murphy Mountain and Mungers Butte, where the drainages transition to the Deer Creek watershed. This 2017 survey details the complex network of forest and resource management routes, such as BLM Rd 37-7-13 and Dryden Overlook Rd, which navigate the steep elevations between Rail Canyon and Packers Gulch. The map provides a clear record of modern property divisions and access roads within the Klamath Mountains transition.
