About this map

Bone Mountain and the surrounding timberlands of the Siskiyou National Forest dominate this landscape along the border of Coos and Douglas counties. The terrain is defined by steep drainage systems, most notably where the Middle Fork Coquille River carves a path between Skull Ridge and Sixmile Ridge. The presence of several quarries and borrow pits near Lake Creek and Twelvemile Creek points to the area's active management for resource extraction and road maintenance in the late 20th century.

While largely uninhabited, the map reveals a network of primitive access points, including numerous 4wd trails and a footbridge over Bear Creek. Recreational and utility infrastructure is limited to specific sites like the Bear Creek Campground and a Radio Facility atop a high point near the Douglas County line. These features, along with named summits like Ketchin Butte, provide essential reference points for navigating this dense forest environment.
