About this map

Red Blanket Mountain and the surrounding high country of Jackson County are defined by a network of National Forest development roads and drainage basins that feed the Rogue River watershed. The terrain is marked by prominent volcanic features and peaks, including Cinnamon Peak, Rocktop Butte, and Jerry Mountain. Along the eastern margin, the boundary of Crater Lake National Park meets the national forest land, illustrating the interface between different federal management zones.

Evidence of seasonal or historic forest use is found in the naming of sites like Dead Soldier Camp near Dead Soldier Meadow, as well as Varmint Camp and Bessie Shelter. These locations, along with natural water sources such as Alder Spring and Cold Spring, suggest a landscape historically utilized for timber management, grazing, or recreation. Numerous creeks, such as Red Blanket Creek and Ginkgo Creek, carve through the ridges, providing a detailed look at the hydrology of the High Cascades.
