2020 Map of Oregon Caves

About this map

Oregon Caves National Monument and Preserve sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape, where the subterranean River Styx Wild and Scenic River flows beneath a terrain defined by steep ridges and alpine basins. The map illustrates a complex network of forest service roads and high-country trails, including the Big Tree Trail and Limestone Trail, which navigate the slopes around Mt Elijah and the Bigelow Lakes. This area of the Siskiyou National Forest is punctuated by significant water bodies such as Bolan Lake and Tanner Lake near the southern boundary with the Klamath National Forest. Named flats like California Bar, Serpentine Flat, and Portuguese Flat hint at the historical mining and prospecting activity that once characterized these remote gulches and creek beds along Sucker Creek and Althouse Mountain.
