About this map

Umpqua National Forest defines the high-elevation landscape of this Douglas County region, where steep drainages and prominent peaks dictate the layout of the land. The hydrology is centered on the Little River, which receives numerous tributaries including Eggleston Cr and Wolf Cr. For those tracking the geographic landmarks of the Cascades, the map identifies significant vertical features such as Red Butte, Sampson Butte, and Negro Ridge.

A network of forest service and local roads, including Little River Rd and Cavitt Creek Rd, provides access to several natural water features. Hikers and researchers can pinpoint Wolf Creek Falls and Shadow Falls, along with the small Cavitt Lake situated in the southeastern portion of the quadrangle. Level terrain is sparse, found mostly at locations like Sugar Pine Flat near the center of the survey area, or at Tanners Pass.
