2023 Map of Sugarpine Creek

About this map

Umpqua National Forest and Rogue River National Forest dominate this high-elevation terrain where Douglas and Jackson counties meet. The landscape is defined by the protected corridor of the Elk Creek Wild and Scenic River, which draws tributaries like Sugarpine Creek and Bitter Lick Creek through deep drainages. Significant summits including Elkhorn Peak and Miller Mtn overlook a network of specialized access routes such as Buzzard Mine Rd and Flat Creek Rd. The presence of Abbott Prairie and Hells Island suggests a complex topography of open high-ground flats and isolated ridges. Geologic landmarks such as Heck Rock and Finger Rock further characterize this wilderness area, while named spots like Gobblers Knob and Mule Hill reflect a local history of land usage and navigation in the southern Oregon mountains.
