About this map

Yellow Butte and the surrounding high ridges of the Oregon Coast Range define this landscape in Douglas County, where deep drainages like Brush Cr and Yellow Cr carve through timbered uplands. The terrain is a complex network of named heights, including Blue Buck Mtn, Broken Back Ridge, and Renhaven Ridge, all accessible via a dense web of Bureau of Land Management roads like Rockadile Rd and BLM RD 24-7-30.

Industry and topography are closely linked here, evidenced by landmarks like Prince Albert and the presence of numerous springs such as Blue Hole Sp and Yellow Ck Sp. In the southwest corner, the Umpqua River makes a brief appearance near State Hwy 138 W, marking the transition from the high ridges down toward the river valley. The map documents a modern snapshot of land management and natural features, from the narrow Snail Canyon to the broad Rice Flat.
