About this map

The Umpqua National Forest defines the rugged geography of this Douglas County quadrangle, where the headwaters of the South Umpqua River and its numerous tributaries carve through the Rogue River Range. The landscape is marked by high-elevation clearings and peaks, most notably Pickett Butte and its adjacent Pickett Prairie.

Modern forest management and recreation are evident through an extensive network of named forest trails, such as the Beaver Creek Trl and Bunchgrass Meadows Trl. These routes navigate a complex system of ridges and basins including Collins Ridge and Bunchgrass Meadows. The map provides a contemporary view of this timber and watershed region, tracing drainage systems like Jackson Creek and Nichols Creek that have historically shaped the accessibility of the Oregon Cascades.
