2014 Map of Nickel Mountain

About this map

Nickel Mountain dominates the center of this Douglas County landscape, overlooking the valley where the settlement of Riddle is situated. This region is defined by the winding course of Cow Creek, which flows through the southern half of the quadrangle, and a network of timber and access roads including the Nickel Mine Rd and several Bureau of Land Management routes. The map documents the localized topography and water management systems of the area, featuring Lake Stomar Reservoir and Hiles Reservoir. To the northeast of the town center, the Riddle Cem sits near the junction of Riddle By-Pass Rd and Riddle Cemetery Rd. The terrain transitions from the low-lying Jerry Flat to higher elevations at Mt Isaac and Langell Ridge, illustrating the varied geography that influenced the development of this southern Oregon community.
