1985 Map of Red Blanket Mountain

About this map

The boundary between Jackson Co and Klamath Co bisects this mountainous landscape where the Rogue River National Forest meets Crater Lake National Park. The topography is defined by prominent peaks including Red Blanket Mtn, Cinnamon Peak, and Huckleberry Mtn, with a dense network of drainages such as Union Creek and Red Blanket Creek carving through the terrain. A variety of high-country landmarks are documented, from the secluded Dead Soldier Meadow and Varmint Camp to essential water sources like Alder Spring and Cold Spring. This provisional survey preserves the state of the backcountry in the mid-1980s, noting practical features like the Bessie Shelter and several resource extraction sites such as a Borrow Pit and Gravel Pit near the headwaters of Gyppo Creek.
