2020 Map of Steamboat

About this map

Steamboat serves as the primary hub for this stretch of the North Umpqua Wild and Scenic River, where the landscape is defined by the steep canyon walls of the Umpqua National Forest. The geography is remarkably vertical, featuring prominent rock formations like Redmans Tooth, Limpy Rock, and the sheer drop of Bloody Point. Water is the central architect here, with the North Umpqua River carving through the Black Gorge and creating notable landmarks such as Steamboat Falls and the sharp turn at Horseshoe Bend. Numerous forest service roads, including Nfst-4713550 and Nfst-4714700, provide access to the high ridges of Lookout Mountain and Panther Ridge. Smaller resources like Winslow Cabin Spring and Little Falls indicate the historic presence of early forest management and remote backcountry outposts.
