About this map

The Bark School stands near the headwaters of Joe Hall Cr in this portion of the Southern Oregon Cascades. The landscape is defined by its dramatic volcanic geology, featuring prominent landmarks such as Ragsdale Butte, Pilot Rock, and Alco Rock. Much of the area is managed as part of the Umpqua National Forest and Rogue River National Forest, with the Douglas and Jackson county line cutting through the center of the terrain.

Transport through these timberlands is anchored by the Tiller Trail Hwy, which follows the drainage of Elk Cr. The map reveals a complex network of forest development roads, including the Diamond Elk Rd, providing access to remote locations like Savage Bluffs and Devils Knob. Water features like Ragsdale Spring and numerous creeks, such as Elk Creek and Alco Creek, illustrate the intricate watershed that supports the region's forestry and natural history.
