About this map

The Rogue River carves a deep path through the Siskiyou National Forest on this 1950s survey of Curry County. The settlement of Agness serves as a remote focal point where the river meets its tributaries, accompanied by a Ranger Station and a local Landing Strip. Further north, the small community of Illahe sits along the riverbanks near the Big Bend, providing a window into the isolated river-corridor life of the mid-20th century.

Upland features reflect both recreational and commercial land use, with several established camps such as Daphne Grove Campground and McCurdy Campground tucked into the drainage of the Coquille River. The terrain is punctuated by distinctive high points like Sawtooth Rock Mountain and Sevenmile Peak. Of interest to local historians is the Cemetery located near Agness and the Port Orford Experimental Forest in the northeast, which highlights the region's long-standing connection to forest management and silviculture.
