The Umpqua Divide Wilderness map actually contains the maps of Boulder Creek Wilderness, Rogue-Umpqua Divide Wilderness, Mount Thielsen Wilderness and the Oregon Cascades Recreation Area.

Boulder Creek Wilderness

This 19,100 acre Wilderness encompasses a high elevation tributary of the North Umpqua River. Boulder Creek is an important spawning stream for anadromous fish. A wide variety of wildlife, geologic formations, and plants can be found in this rugge drainage. Wildfires in 1996 and 2008 burned much of the Boulder Creek Wilderness. Hikers should expect hazards in the area such as, but not limited to, falling trees or dead snags, loose rocks, and trail tread instability.

Rouge-Umpqua Divide Wilderness

High, forested mountains and ridges separate the Upper Rogue and North Umpqua River drainages and characterize this 33,000-acre Wilderness. Located on the western slopes of the Cascades, the larget portion of the Wilderness lies on the Umpqua National Forest. The eastern edge of the Wilderness lies in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. Flora and fauna are impressive attractions in thie area, as are geologic features such as Devils Slide, Hole-in-the-Ground, and Fish Mountain.

Mount Thielsen Wilderness

Portions of this 55,100-acre Wilderness are located on the Umpqua, Deschutes, and Fremont-Winema National Forests. Much of the Wilderness consists of high alpine forests and open, park-like, dry meadows. An ancient volcanic ridge, dominated by 9,182-foot Mount Thielsen, forms the backbone of this area.
