2023 Map of Sugarpine Creek

About this map

Umpqua National Forest and Rogue River National Forest meet in this high-elevation corridor of the Rogue River Range. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology and dramatic terrain, where peaks like Buckhorn Mtn and Elkhorn Peak overlook a network of lick-fed creeks and gulches. A notable geographical feature is the Elk Creek Wild and Scenic River, which flows through the southern portion of the quadrangle. The survey reveals a history of land management and extraction, evidenced by the intricate system of access roads such as Buzzard Mine Rd and Sugar Pine Rd that navigate between landmarks like Abbott Prairie and Heck Rock. This documentation captures the area's transition between the drainage basins of Elkhorn Creek and the namesake Sugarpine Creek.
