2020 Map of Barklow Mountain

About this map

Siskiyou National Forest land dominates this section of the Southern Oregon coast range, defined by the complex drainage systems of the Sixes River and its various branches. The landscape is characterized by prominent peaks like Barklow Mountain and Sugarloaf Mtn, with a network of forest service roads such as N Fork Sixes River Rd and Carlton Creek Rd providing access to the deep interior. Human presence is sparse but deeply rooted, evidenced by sites like Haines Cem and Huckleberry Knoll Cem. The convergence of Curry and Coos counties occurs in these high ridges, where features like Bear Pan Flat and Salt Lick Prairie suggest early uses of the mountain meadows. Small tributaries including Russian Mike Cr and Benson Cr feed the larger river system, which carves through named canyons like County Line Canyon.
