1997 Map of Taft Mountain

About this map

The Umpqua National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Douglas County, where the 1997 revision captures a wilderness of prominent peaks and forest infrastructure. The terrain is anchored by significant heights including Taft Mountain, Abes Mountain, and the descriptive Black Butte. Specialized forest features provide insight into the recreational and management history of the area, such as the Emile Shelter and the Peter Paul Shelter, alongside the notable Emile Big Tree landmark. Water drainage patterns are clearly marked by the Little River and its numerous tributaries like Emile Creek and Black Creek. The presence of a Quarry suggests localized resource extraction within the timberlands, while geographic oddities like Cool Water and the high-altitude Peter Paul Prairie highlight the varied ecological niches found across Clover Ridge.
