1997 Map of Thousand Springs

About this map

Rogue River National Forest and the western edge of Crater Lake National Park meet in this high-altitude landscape dominated by seasonal waterways and volcanic terrain. The map centers on the headwaters of several significant drainages, including Copeland Creek, Bybee Creek, and Union Creek, which carve through the timbered slopes. Of particular note is the Thousand Springs area near the eastern boundary, where numerous springs emerge to form the source of local waters. Evidence of early travel and forest use is found at Wagon Camp and the prominent heights of Huckleberry Mtn. The topography is further characterized by specialized ecosystems such as Sphagnum Bog and the secluded Spruce Lake. This survey illustrates the intricate network of forest roads and trails that provided access to these remote reaches for resource management and recreation during the late twentieth century.
