2017 Map of Potter Mountain

About this map

Umpqua Hot Springs sits at the heart of this high-elevation forest landscape, where the N Umpqua River and Clearwater River cut through the volcanic terrain of the Cascades. The map documents a complex network of forest development roads and industrial infrastructure, including the Lemolo Number 2 Canal and the Clearwater Number One Forebay, illustrating the region's role in hydroelectric power generation. Prominent geological features like Potter Mountain and the ominously named Dread and Terror Ridge define the local topography. This era of forest management is reflected in the numerous timber-related labels such as Pot Thinning TS and Loafer Thin TS, which point to active silviculture within the Willamette National Forest and Umpqua National Forest. Smaller clearings and meadows like Thorn Prairie and Upper Mountain Meadows provide distinct breaks in the dense canopy coverage.
