2014 Map of Surveyor Mountain

About this map

Winema National Forest dominates this section of the Southern Cascades, defined by a series of prominent volcanic peaks and an intricate network of forest management roads. The namesake Surveyor Mountain and nearby Surveyor Peak anchor the high ground, while Kent Peak and Buck Mtn provide additional topographical relief. Water management is a primary feature of the lower elevations, where Lower Sheepy Reservoir, Sheepy Reservoir, and Parker Reservoir collect drainage from seasonal creeks such as Sheepy Cr and Cold Cr. The land use pattern reflects a landscape structured for resource management and recreation, with historic routes like Walters Cabin Rd and Keno Access Rd providing access to the high backcountry. From the Rock Slide on the northern slopes to the seasonal flows at Gold Spring and Otwin Spring, the map documents a terrain where geology and hydrography dictate the path of human infrastructure.
