1989 Map of Richter Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Umpqua National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape along the border of Douglas and Jackson counties. The terrain is deeply incised by the drainage systems of South Fork Cow Creek, East Fork Cow Creek, and Drew Creek. Mining activity is a significant historical marker on the land, evidenced by the Banfield Mine near the center of the sheet and the Rowley Mine to the south. Further exploration reveals the Mammoth Lobe Mine situated on the slopes of Richter Mountain. This era of the late 1980s shows a network of 4wd tracks and forest roads providing access to remote points like Peavine Camp and Richter Cabin. The presence of these named sites, alongside landmarks such as Tombstone Gap and Threehorn Mountain, provides essential geographic context for those researching the industrial and recreational history of the southern Oregon Cascades.
