About this map

Taft Mountain and the surrounding high country of the Umpqua National Forest are defined by a complex network of drainage basins and ridges in this 2011 survey. The Little River and its numerous tributaries, including White Creek and Black Creek, carve through the landscape, creating distinct landforms like Clover Ridge and Taft Ridge. The presence of Camp Grant and the Sunset Shelter indicates the long-standing recreational and management infrastructure within these timberlands.

Logging and forest management history is visible through the extensive naming of timber sales and access routes, such as Boneyard TS and Sundown TS. Significant elevations like Big Squaw Mountain and Foster Butte provide topographic anchors for the region, while landmarks like Grotto Falls and Peter Paul Prairie suggest specific natural points of interest that have persisted through decades of forest use.
