About this map

Umpqua National Forest defines the rugged verticality of this Douglas County landscape, where the Little River and its numerous tributaries have carved deep drainages into the Cascades. The map reveals a dense network of forest service trails, such as the Nf-2719445 Tr and Nf-2719300 Tr, which navigate the high ridges and steep valleys. Prominent peaks including Taft Mtn, Foster Butte, and Abes Mtn serve as major landmarks across this roadless terrain, punctuated only by small water bodies like Eureka Pond.

The hydrography of the region is characterized by swift-moving streams like Emile Creek, Black Creek, and Dumont Creek, which feed into the primary river system. Long mountain features like Malvin Brown Ridge and Clover Ridge create natural divides that dictate the movement of both water and the thin web of trails throughout the forest. This survey provides a contemporary view of the topography and managed forest boundaries within the t27s r1w and t28s r1w townships.
