Ditch construction workers were the very first trail users ldquoDitch ridersrdquo were also among the original trail users These were men who rode horseback along the trail on the berm of the ditch to make sure the water continued to flow

A History of Riches Long before the appearance of European settlers Sterling Creek and the Little Applegate River area were traditional homelands of the Dakubetede people This group was also known as the Applegate Creek Indians and was part of the Rogue River Indians a name applied to the people of the Upper Rogue River and its tributaries The Dakubetedes utilized an abundance of berries seeds roots fish and game throughout the year to maintain a diverse diet The Dakubetedes spoke a dialect of the Athabascan language group unusual for the tribes in interior southwest Oregon The Dakubetedes took part in the Rogue River Indian Treaties of 1853 and 1854 that resulted in their removal from their homelands to the Grand Ronde and Siletz Indian Reservations in northwest Oregon

When gold was discovered in 1854 on Sterling Creek prospectors poured into the area At first they panned for gold along the creek but this proved to be inefficient in extracting the gold that was buried under layers of rock and soil Hydraulic mining using a powerful jet of water promised better returns for large scale mining they just needed more water

In 1877 miners built the Sterling Mine Ditch to redirect water from the upper reaches of the Little Applegate River to the Sterling Creek Mine The ditch followed the contours of the rugged slopes of Anderson Butte and lost only 200 feet in elevation over its 265 mile length Using hand tools up to 400 workers most of them probably Chinese completed the ditch in just 6 months at a cost of $70000 The ditch carried water to the mine and the trail alongside it provided access for ditch maintenance During peak operation hydraulic mining on Sterling Creek blasted

away up to 800 cubic yards of soil and rock each day Impacts to fisheries and water quality were immense and generations would pass before the hydrologic balance and fish habitat in Sterling Creek would recover

The mine discontinued operations in the 1930s and the ditch and trail became overgrown with brush and trees The Sterling Mine Ditch Trail (SMDT) is a marvel of late nineteenth century engineering Be sure to see the tunnel dug as a shortcut through the ridge at the top of the Tunnel Ridge access trail You can also see old flume remnants while hiking along sections of the trail As you drive along Sterling Creek Road you can see piles of stones and boulders along the creek that were left by hydraulic mining as soil was washed away in the search for gold In addition to gold the layers of soil and rock also yielded bones and tusks of elephants and other ancient inhabitants of the area

The Natural Environment The SMDT passes through a diversity of landscapes and ecosystems as it winds its way around the ridges and ravines of Anderson Butte This diversity contributes to an ever-changing array of wildflowers trees birds wildlife and environments Trail users enjoy panoramic views of surrounding landscapes--the Siskiyou Crest Wagner Butte Little Applegate Valley Greyback Mountain and the Red Buttes Wilderness as well as deep woods and lovely meadows Groves of mature ponderosa pine Douglas-fir big leaf maple white and black oak cedar hazel fern and other woodland plants flourish on shady north-facing slopes and in draws near Deming Gulch Armstrong Gulch and along the Little Applegate and Tunnel Ridge access trails

Drier southern exposures support madrone manzanita oaks buckbrush mountain mahagony silk tassel Klamath plum and even a few junipers Several champion trees are found along the ditch including a massive madrone 18 feet in circumference growing between Bear Gulch and Tunnel Ridge

Spring brings an abundance of wildflowers and birds that last well into summer Summer can be very warm along south-facing exposures but north-facing slopes and draws provide a refreshingly cool respite from the heat Autumnrsquos changing colors splash the deep green forest canopy with yellow orange and red accents

Although you may not see them often many species of wildlife call the area home Be aware as you travel along this ditch you share the trail with other local species such as poison oak ticks and an array of wildlife including bears cougars bob cats coyotes and deer

Wildflowers are among the prime attractions of the ditch between February and August Varieties in bloom change with the seasons and habitat They include three species of fritillary calypso rattlesnake and bog orchids trillium bleeding hearts Oregon sunshine and at least forty other species (see the wildflower list on wwwSUTAOregonorg)

A partnership between the Medford District Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Siskiyou Upland Trails Association (SUTA) and the neighboring community drove the re-opening of the historic Sterling Mine Ditch Trail (SMDT) This partnership is vital to keeping the trail open for the community The BLM provides resource planning and management of the SMDT and helps with large-scale maintenance needs

SUTA is a non-profit community trails association that is developing a trail system connecting existing trails in Jacksonville to those of Ashland Oregon along the scenic ridgeline This will become the Jack-Ash trail The historic SMDT is a key part of this community trail system and will create a 25-mile loop in the center of the Jack-Ash Trail SUTA has taken the lead in procuring grant funds and organizing volunteers to assist with rehabilitation and maintenance of the SMDT SUTA volunteers provide most of the needed maintenance of the SMDT through scheduled work parties You may assist BLM and SUTA in helping keep this historic trail open for public use by participating in a work party Visit wwwSUTAoregonorg to schedule work parties activities and other events

Keeping this beautiful trail open for all to enjoy depends upon help from volunteers like you Trail work parties provide opportunities to gain skills in trail design and maintenance enjoy the constantly changing natural environment of the trail get some great exercise and meet new friends
