1986 Map of Barklow Mountain

About this map

Dement Ranch and Avery Ranch highlight the legacy of high-country livestock operations within the northern reaches of the Siskiyou National Forest during the mid-1980s. This drainage basin of the North Fork Sixes River and Middle Fork Sixes River is defined by a series of high-altitude openings such as Calf Ranch Prairie and High Prairie. The presence of a Cem near Bear Pan Flat suggests early homesteading roots deep in the backcountry, far from established towns. Surveyed by the Geological Survey with data from 1982, the map documents a landscape of steep timbered ridges including Camp Five Ridge and Bray Ridge, where logging activity is indicated by features like the Borrow Pit and several private access roads. The terrain is marked by distinctive local landmarks like Barklow Mtn and Russian Mike Creek, reflecting the rugged character of the Curry and Coos County line.
