About this map

Umpqua National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape in Douglas County, dominated by the peaks of Twin Lakes Mountain and Buckhead Mountain. The drainage patterns of the late twentieth century are clearly defined, showing the headwaters of Copeland Creek and French Creek as they carve through the timbered terrain. Notable for its high-country water features, the area includes the eponymous Twin Lakes and the secluded Alligator Lake.

Resource extraction and backcountry navigation are evident through numerous scattered Quarry sites and established shelters like Boze Shelter and the northern Shelter near Twin Lake. The map details specific topographical landmarks such as Raven Rock and the open expanses of Sheep Prairie and Cow Prairie, providing an essential reference for understanding the forestry and recreational infrastructure of the western Cascades during this era.
