About this map

The Willamette National Forest and Umpqua National Forest converge in this high-elevation landscape, where the administrative boundary divides the rugged drainages of the Calapooya Mountains. The map highlights a long history of resource management and recreation, anchored by the Layng Creek Work Center and specialized sites like the Layng Creek Fossil Beds. Small settlements and seasonal outposts such as Lund Park and Hobo Camp are situated along Brice Creek, reflecting the area's legacy of mining and forestry camps that once peppered these steep ridges.

Transport through this terrain is defined by narrow ridges and creek beds, with the Trestle Trail following the contours near Noonday Ridge. This 1986 survey documents a landscape heavily utilized for its timber and minerals, evidenced by numerous quarries and established camps like Cedar Creek Campground and Rujada Campground. The complex hydrology is anchored by Dinner Creek and Layng Creek, which carve through the prominent topography of Rose Hill and Sugarloaf Mtn.
