2011 Map of Barklow Mountain

About this map

The Sixes River and its numerous forks dominate this coastal mountain landscape in Coos County. The drainage network is dense, featuring the North Fork, Middle Fork, and South Fork, which converge as they flow through deep canyons and past high prairies. This topography supports several established holdings, including Avery Ranch, Dement Ranch, and Powers Ranch, reflecting a long-standing pattern of mountain ranching and resource extraction. Evidence of early settlement and industry is visible in the presence of the Blue Jay Mine near Star Mountain and several small burial grounds like Huckleberry Knoll Cemetery, Dement Cemetery, and Haines Cemetery. High-elevation landmarks such as Barklow Mountain, Granite Peak, and Sugarloaf Mountain define the horizon, while the Barklow Mountain Campground provides a modern point of access for this forest environment. The map also traces narrow access routes like Sixes River Rd and Old Eckley Rd as they follow the natural contours of the river valleys.
