About this map

Rogue River National Forest and Umpqua National Forest meet in this landscape defined by high peaks and drainage basins. The area is anchored by significant elevations such as Elkhorn Peak, Buckhorn Mtn, and Gobblers Knob, which provide a clear sense of the vertical scale within the Rogue River Range. The presence of Abbott Prairie and Hells Island suggests pockets of unique terrain amidst the network of ridges and gulches.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with a complex system of creeks including Sugarpine Creek, Bitter Lick Creek, and Coalmine Creek carving through the mountains. For local history and forestry research, the map details an extensive logging and access road network, including Elkhorn Ridge Rd and the Buzzard Mine Rd, which hint at the industrial and mineral extraction history of this part of Jackson County.
