About this map

Laying Creek Fossil Beds and the surrounding watersheds of the Umpqua National Forest define this landscape on the border of Lane and Douglas counties. The terrain is characterized by steep ridges and a dense network of drainages, including the prominent Dinner Ridge and the heights of Sugarloaf Mtn. Numerous quarries are scattered throughout the hills, reflecting the active resource management and road maintenance within the forest during the late 20th century.

Public recreation and administrative sites are central to this area's identity, with established locations like the Rujada Campground and the Laying Creek Work Center. Historically significant points for navigation and drainage, such as Rujada Point and the confluence of Brice Creek and Hobo Creek, provide a detailed look at the hydrology of the western Cascades. From the high waters of Crawfish Lake to the cascades at Spirit Falls, the map documents a working forest landscape at the end of the 1990s.
