2017 Map of Richter Mountain

About this map

The Umpqua National Forest dominates this section of the Southern Oregon Cascades, where the headwaters of numerous drainages converge at the Douglas and Jackson County line. The terrain is defined by prominent high points like Richter Mountain and Threehorn Mtn, which overlook a network of forest service roads and established trails. Notable passages through the ridges include Tombstone Gap and Neuman Gap, providing vital transit points across Wildcat Ridge and Callahan Ridge. To the north, the landscape levels slightly at Long Prairie near the banks of E Fork Drew Cr. Small water bodies like Drew Lake and the winding course of E Fork Cow Cr emphasize the importance of water management and timber access in this region. This modern survey reflects the contemporary layout of the forest road network, such as Railroad Gap Rd, used for both recreation and resource management.
