2011 Map of Pickett Butte

About this map

Nichols Ranch sits in the northern reaches of this mountain landscape, marking a rare point of private settlement within the expansive timberlands of Douglas County. The terrain is defined by a series of fire-observation points, including the Pickett Butte Lookout Tower, Coffin Butte Lookout, and Collins Lookout, which offer strategic views over the high ridges and deep drainages. Clearings such as Pickett Prairie and Hamlin Prairie break up the dense forest cover, while the South Umpqua River and its major tributaries like Jackson Creek carve through the topography.
