2017 Map of Oregon Caves

About this map

The Oregon Caves National Monument and Preserve anchors this high-elevation landscape within the Siskiyou Mountains. This 2017 study illustrates a complex network of forest development roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 4612, that weave through the Siskiyou National Forest and Klamath National Forest. Named landmarks like Whiskers Peak, Horse Mtn, and Grizzly Peak define the sharp relief of the area, while the historical California Bar sits along the upper reaches of Sucker Creek. The map provides an intricate look at the hydrology and drainage patterns of the region, from the headwaters of Cave Creek to the high alpine Bigelow Lakes. Local history is captured in descriptive terrain labels such as Portuguese Flat and Green Creek Meadow, reflecting the region's legacy of mining and seasonal grazing.
