1989 Map of Sugarpine Creek

About this map

Hells Island Mountain dominates the center of this southern Oregon survey, marking a rugged landscape managed by the Rogue River National Forest and Umpqua National Forest. The map documents a territory defined by timber and mineral extraction, noted by a coalmine near Coalmine Creek and various quarries and borrow pits scattered along 4WD tracks. At the boundary of Douglas and Jackson counties, the terrain is punctuated by high points such as Elkhorn Peak and Buckhorn Mountain. Cultural features are sparse but significant for local history, including Fawn Camp in the northwest and Abbott Prairie further east. The drainage network is complex, with Sugarpine Creek and Bitter Lick Creek feeding into the larger river systems, while the presence of the Neal Camp Burn in the northeast provides a specific record of the area's fire history prior to 1989.
