2014 Map of Starvout Creek

About this map

Starvout Creek and Cow Creek anchor this drainage basin along the Douglas and Jackson County line. The landscape is defined by the steep elevation changes between Patrick Mtn and Green Mtn, with numerous drainages like Whitehorse Creek and Quartz Cr cutting through the terrain. Evidence of land management is prominent, with various Bureau of Land Management routes such as BLM-31-4-27 and BLM-32-4-9 providing access to the higher ridges and timbered slopes. This network of forestry roads, including Hogum Creek Rd and Fizzleout Creek Rd, suggests a region focused on resource extraction and back-country navigation. Local history is reflected in named geographic features such as Benjamin Gulch, Booth Gulch, and Hauck Ranch Rd, which point to early settlement and ranching efforts in these isolated valleys.
