2017 Map of Starvout Creek

About this map

Galesville Reservoir dominates the upper elevations of this Southern Oregon landscape, where the waters of Cow Creek and its many tributaries are managed for the region. The map reveals an intricate network of Bureau of Land Management routes, such as Hoopy Ridge Rd and the Ump-Cow Divide E, which navigate the steep terrain between Patrick Mtn and Green Mtn. This late-stage topographic study details the drainage systems of Starvout Cr and Whitehorse Cr, highlighting the importance of timber and water management in the Douglas and Jackson county borderlands. The presence of features like Old Timber and numerous spur roads suggests a landscape heavily shaped by forestry practices and the logistical requirements of maintaining access through the Skyline Ridge area.
