Dear Mr. Hatter: This acknowledges your proposal to the U.S. Board on Geographic Names (BGN) to make official thelocally used name Roberts Mountain Pass for a gap in Douglas County. The BGN is responsible forstandardizing geographic names for use by the Federal Government, and its members must approveany new name before it can appear on Federal maps and products. We will prepare a case brief for the proposed name and add it to the BGN’s next Quarterly Review Listfor consideration by all interested parties. Local opinion is important to the BGN, so by a copy of this response, we are forwarding yourapplication to the Oregon Geographic Names Board (OGNB) for its review and a recommendation. Aspart of its investigation, the OGNB will seek the opinion of the Douglas County government and anyState agencies that it determines might have an interest. They may also contact you directly to discussthe OGNB's review process. Finally, in accordance with Federal policies regarding Tribal consultation,we are required to ask any American Indian Tribes with an interest in the area if they have an opinion. As soon as our research is complete and all parties have had an opportunity to comment, we willpresent the proposal for Roberts Mountain Pass to the BGN for discussion and the final decision. Theentire review process will take several months, but once the BGN has rendered its decision, we willnotify you of the outcome. Thank you for your interest in the geographic names of Oregon. If you have any questions, please letus know. Sincerely, Jennifer Runyon, research staff U.S. Board on Geographic Names U.S. Geological Survey Reston, VA 20192-0523 (703) 648-4550 [email protected] or [email protected] https://usgs.gov/geonames/domestic-names

Roberts Mountain Pass: gap; elevation 970 ft.; at the location where Interstate 5 passes over Roberts Mountain, 1.1 mi. S of Glengary; Sec 25, T28S, R6W, Willamette Meridian; Douglas County, Oregon; 43°06’36”N, 123°21’17”W; USGS map – Myrtle Creek 1:24,000. https://geonames.usgs.gov/apex/gazvector.getesricoor?p_lat=43.11&p_longi=-123.354722 Proposal: new associative name for unnamed feature Map: USGS Myrtle Creek 1:24,000 Proponent: Gary Hatter Administrative area: None Previous BGN Action: None Names associated with feature: GNIS: No record Local Usage: Roberts Mountain Pass (55 years, according to proponent) Published: None found Case Summary: The name Roberts Mountain Pass is proposed to be made official for the gap where Interstate 5 passes over Roberts Mountain in Douglas County. The gap has an elevation of approximately 970 feet and is located one mile northeast of part of the Cow Creek Reservation. The Oregon Department of Transportation refers to the feature as a pass through Roberts Mountain, but does not use the proposed name, nor is the gap signed along the interstate. Many other gaps in Oregon have official names in GNIS. Of the 14 gaps recorded in Douglas County, five have the generic “Pass.” Along Interstate 5, the following are named from south to north: Siskiyou Summit (not in GNIS, although the nearby Siskiyou Pass may refer to the same feature), Sexton Mountain Pass, Smith Hill Summit, Stage Road Pass, Canyon Creek Pass, and Coryell Pass. This proposal was sent first to the BGN then forwarded to the OGNB. Responses: County does not oppose the feature name as there are several other I-5 passes that are named. County has four other passes. Roberts Mountain Pass is already named in some publications.

Bruce,
Thank you for the information below. Just to clarify, Yes, ODOT approves of the naming.
As for the tribal consultation, I’ll leave that up to you. Sounds like there is a process inplace and was followed in order to provide all nine Oregon tribes the opportunity tocomment.
THANK YOU,
