1989 Map of Reynolds Ridge

About this map

Homestead Ridge and Reynolds Ridge dominate this rugged landscape within the Umpqua National Forest and Willamette National Forest. Surveyed in the 1980s, the map reveals a wilderness area defined by steep drainages and isolated landmarks like Granddad Butte and Buster Butte. The boundary between Lane Co and Douglas Co cuts through the center of the sheet, where high-elevation points such as Firemans Leap and Pyramid Rock watch over the headwaters of numerous creeks. Small traces of human presence are recorded at Grassy Ranch Camp, Reynolds Shelter, and the Bullpup Lake area, though the terrain is largely defined by its primitive nature. The southern portion includes part of the Boulder Creek Wilderness, highlighting the area's role as a protected forest habitat before the turn of the century.
