About this map

Lucky Queen Mine and a constellation of surrounding workings define the industrial character of this mid-1980s survey of Josephine County. The landscape is a network of drainage-carved peaks including Sexton Mtn and Red Mountain, where mineral extraction left a permanent mark through sites like the Twelve O'clock Mine, Oak Mine, and Orofino Mine. The map documents a transition in land use, noting former community centers like the Lucky Queen (Site) and Forest Queen (Site) alongside the active settlement of Winona.

Hydrological patterns follow the steep topography, with Jumpoff Joe Creek and Louse Creek cutting deep valleys that served as corridors for development. Evidence of early settlement persists in the form of a lone Grave and family-named landmarks like Harris. Meanwhile, modern infrastructure such as a high-elevation Pipeline and the Manzanita Rest Area illustrate the 20th-century integration of this terrain into regional transport and utility networks.
