About this map

Umpqua National Forest land dominates this section of Jackson County, where the southern boundary of the forest meets complex terrain shaped by several major drainage systems. The landscape is defined by high ridges and prominent peaks, including Skeleton Mountain and Peavine Ridge, which separate the headwaters of numerous creeks. Key watercourses such as W Fork Evans Cr and Salt Cr carve through the topography, creating distinct areas like Ash Flat and Elderberry Flat.

The presence of naming conventions like Little Battle Mtn and Battle Mtn in the south, alongside Battle Cr, suggests a historical significance to this specific geography. Several named access routes, including Applegate Rd and Salt Creek Rd, navigate the forest's rugged interior. This map provides a clear record of the area's forest service infrastructure and natural landmarks at the start of the 2010s, from the height of Panther Peak down to the remote Bear Wallow.
