2017 Map of Barklow Mountain

About this map

Siskiyou National Forest dominates this landscape in the southern Oregon Coast Range, where the complex drainage system of the Sixes River carves through steep canyons and high ridges. The map documents a network of forest development roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 5201 and Old Eckley Rd, that provide access to remote peaks including Barklow Mtn and Sugarloaf Mtn. For genealogists and local historians, several small clearings and historical sites are noted, including Haines Cem near Murphy Canyon and the Huckleberry Knoll Cem situated above Bear Pan Flat. The terrain transition is marked by numerous creeks like Russian Mike Cr and Benson Cr, reflecting the region's heavy annual rainfall and dense timber environment. Named flats such as Thompson Flat and Ash Flat suggest historically significant level ground within an otherwise vertical landscape of peaks like Salmon Mtn and Granite Peak.
