1996 Map of Sterling Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

Buncom and the surrounding timberlands of the Rogue River National Forest define this 1996 survey of Jackson County. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of gulches and ridges, including Bear Cabin Ridge and Hopkins Ridge, feeding into the Little Applegate River and Sterling Creek. Evidence of historic resource extraction is visible through multiple Tailings deposits along the creek beds, particularly near a small Cem and Sailor Gulch. To the north, Nelson Mountain and its associated Nelson Meadow provide significant elevation markers, while the Barr Ranch indicates continuing land use in the valleys. The map illustrates the intersection of Forest Service management and private holdings, with the Little Applegate Recreation Site marking a transition toward modern recreational land use within the older mining and ranching geography.
