2011 Map of Potter Mountain

About this map

The North Umpqua River and Clearwater River systems define this stretch of Douglas County, where the landscape is marked by the infrastructure of regional water management. Hydrological features like the Lemolo Number 2 Canal, the Deer Creek Diversion Dam, and the Clearwater Number One Forebay illustrate the complex diversion and power systems integrated into the terrain. Named ridges and peaks such as Potter Mountain, Dread and Terror Ridge, and Watson Butte dominate the topography, while smaller campsites and open spaces like Winter Knight Camp and Mowich Park indicate the area's recreational use. The map also documents a network of forest access points, including the Clearwater River Rd and specialized routes like Basket Butte Rd and the Pig Iron TS, which serve the high elevations of Pig Iron Mountain and Thorn Prairie.
