About this map

Umpqua National Forest defines the high-elevation landscape of this Douglas County quadrangle, where a dense network of logging and forest service roads cuts through the drainage basins of the S Myrtle Cr and Days Cr. The terrain is marked by prominent peaks such as White Rock, Buck Butte, and Riser Butte, while local water sources like White Rock Springs and Yellow Jacket Spring dot the ridges.

Evidence of early rural settlement and land use appears along the lower elevations, specifically near Letitia Cr where the Letitia Cem sits as a quiet genealogical landmark. Nearby, Briggs Reservoir serves as a small water management point amidst the timberlands. The map reflects a modern era of forest management, dominated by Bureau of Land Management (BLM) routes and specialized spurs like Curtin Crk Sp and Fast Buck Sp, which facilitate access to the deep interior of the Oregon Cascades.
