About this map

Pinehurst sits at the northern edge of this terrain, where Beaver Cr and Keene Cr descend toward the higher elevations of the Rogue River National Forest. The landscape is defined by a series of prominent peaks and ridges, including Parker Mountain, Rosebud Mtn, and the high ground of Keene Creek Ridge. A network of water management features and springs is evident throughout the region, with the Rim Reservoir, Fall Cr Reservoir, and Ling Reservoir providing water storage amidst the mountain draws.

Historically, the area shows a pattern of high-altitude land use, from the Schoolhouse Meadow to the open Juniper Glade. The map captures the rugged borderlands where Jackson and Klamath counties meet the California state line, marked by remote reaches like Oregon Gulch and Hartwell Draw. This 2017 survey reflects the modern management of these timberlands and watersheds, recording numerous isolated springs such as Soda Spring and Wallis Spring that have long served as vital water sources in the high country.
