1996 Map of Barklow Mountain

About this map

Barklow Mountain and Salmon Mountain anchor this high-elevation landscape within the Siskiyou National Forest, where the complex headwaters of the Sixes River system converge. The topography is defined by the three primary branches of the river—the North Fork, Middle Fork, and South Fork—cutting deep drainage basins between major peaks. Local ranching history is evidenced by several remote outposts, including Dement Ranch, Avery Ranch, and Powers Ranch, often situated near unique mountain clearings like Carlton Prairie and Calf Ranch Prairie. A small Cem (cemetery) located near the Sixes River corridor provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracking early inhabitants of this corner of Curry and Coos Counties. The map also records several family-named terrain features such as Mount Avery and Bray Mountain, alongside the notable Huckleberry Knoll.
