2014 Map of Barklow Mountain

About this map

Siskiyou National Forest dominates this section of the Oregon Coast Range, where the complex drainage systems of the Sixes River and its various forks define the topography. The terrain is marked by high summits including Barklow Mountain and Salmon Mtn, falling away into deep drainages like Murphy Canyon and Fuzzy Gulch. Human presence is concentrated along primitive forest development roads, with historic sites like the Haines Cem and Huckleberry Knoll Cem providing evidence of early homesteading or forestry activity in these high basins. The map illustrates the convergence of Curry and Coos counties across a landscape of high-elevation flats, including Thompson Flat and Ash Flat, and named ridges such as Camp Five Ridge. This 2014 survey documents the modern boundaries and access routes of the Middle Fork Sixes River and its tributaries before they reach the Pacific coast.
