About this map

Rustler Peak stands as the dominant topographical landmark in this 1980s survey of the high country straddling the Jackson and Klamath County line. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the South Fork Rogue River, where numerous alpine springs like Onion Spring and Misfit Spring feed a network of creeks including Rancheria Creek and Wickiup Creek. This era of the forest is characterized by its recreational infrastructure, featuring established sites such as Snowshoe Campground and Saddle Campground.

Transit through these high elevations is marked by the Pacific Crest Nat Scenic Tr, which winds past features like the North Blue Lake Group and McKee Lake. The map illustrates the boundary between the Rogue River National Forest and the Winema National Forest, capturing a wilderness managed for both timber and conservation, evidenced by the presence of a Gravel Pit alongside remote meadows like Parker Meadows and Stanley Meadows.
