About this map

The North Fork Middle Fork Willamette River defines the southern portion of this rugged Cascade Range landscape in Lane County. The drainage network is particularly dense here, with numerous waterways like Christy Creek and Sardine Creek carving through the terrain between prominent high points such as Sardine Butte and Ingram Butte. Human activity in these timberlands is marked by the presence of Camp 5 and the riverside Christy Flats.

Resource extraction history is anchored by the Ironside Mine situated near the headwaters of Christy Creek. To the southeast, the terrain opens into high-elevation features like Major Prairie and the sharp descent of Devils Canyon. The map reveals a complex web of forest roads serving these drainages, including the many-branched systems around Battle Peak and Buffalo Peak, illustrating the 21st-century management of this deeply dissected watershed.
