About this map

Surveyor Mtn and its namesake peak dominate this high-altitude landscape within the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument and Winema National Forest. The map documents a complex network of forest roads and spurs, such as Kent Spur A and Cold Kent, which navigate the steep drainage systems of Johnson Creek and Jenny Creek. This 2023 survey illustrates the modern management of these protected lands, highlighting numerous alpine glades like Cherry Glade and Puckett Glade that break the dense forest cover.

Water resources are vital to this terrain, represented by high-country catchments including Lower Sheepy Reservoir and Parker Reservoir. These features, along with named springs like Onion Spring and Cold Spring, suggest a landscape shaped by seasonal snowmelt and careful water management. For the researcher, the map provides a precise look at modern boundary lines and geological features, from the Rock Slide on the eastern flank of Surveyor Peak to the isolated Grouse Butte further south.
