About this map

Roman Nose Mountain towers over this rugged section of the Coast Range at the border of Lane and Douglas counties. This area is defined by the high-elevation headwaters of numerous drainages, most notably the Siuslaw River and the W Fork Smith River. The landscape reflects a mix of managed timberlands and federal conservation within the Siuslaw National Forest.

Evidence of historical backcountry use appears in labels like Mosquito Camp and the isolated settlement of Linslaw along the northern edge. Significant water features such as the Whittaker Cr Recreational Reservoir and naming conventions like Wounded Knee highlight the remote character of these mountains. An intricate network of Bureau of Land Management roads, including BLM RD 28-1 and BLM RD 29-1, provides access through the steep terrain to landmarks like B F Spr.
