Oregon Ridge

The upper wooded areas are very open and allow for quick running even at this time of year. The lower areas have intricate vegetation details and navigation is very important.

Map Notes:
There is some extensive logging occurring in the park and some areas will either run through or next to the logged areas. the logged areas are not clear cut (only about 2/3 of the trees are cut down). It does add some slash intermittently to the ground but there are also new vehicle tracks in the area. I haven’t field checked the area as they are still logging but suffice to say that all the small features in the area are gone (i.e. use contours only in this area). They are still logging so the area may get larger before the meet. I have mapped the logged area (approximately as a green hash overlay).
Most point features on the map are very small and easy to miss. I updated many of them but didn't cover the whole map.

• There are many dot knolls on the map. Most of these are quite small and may be easily missed.
• There are many rides on the map. These tend to be old trails and are useful for navigation but don’t provide faster running. They tend to be sunken into the ground.
• Root stocks are at least a meter high. Green X's are root stocks. Larger root stock tree trunks are mapped with a solid green line.
• Green circles are holly trees.
• Black X’s can be anything to include: archery targets, Pipeline poles, Monitoring stations, Picnic tables. In the heavily used part of the park I am not sure the X's match up anymore to whatever they were. In the pipeline clearings, a single X represents pipe line marker poles.
• In the woods there are 3-4 ft high telephone poles that were marked as black X's. They are almost impossible to find. I changed the ones I found to gray circles but some may still be black X's.
• Individual rocks are quite small, about a foot high.
• The park boundary is a gray line. Please respect the private property.
• Most of the green on the hill sides is mountain laurel.
