2011 Map of Bosley Butte

About this map

The Chetco River winds through the heart of this coastal mountain terrain within the Siskiyou National Forest, where high elevations are defined by a series of prominent peaks and open grasslands. This landscape is punctuated by numerous named prairies, including Wilson Prairie, Northern Prairie, and Horse Prairie, which sit alongside distinctive topographic landmarks like Bosley Butte and Buzzard Roost. The river valley features river-level locations such as Gardner Bar and Miller Bar, which contrast with the steep ridges of Panda Ridge and Palmer Butte. Significant tributaries such as Eagle Creek and the South Fork Chetco River drain the surrounding slopes, while an extensive network of forestry routes like Gardner Ridge Rd and the N Bank Chetco River Rd provide the primary access to these remote areas. This survey captures the complex drainage patterns of Wilson Creek and Nook Creek as they feed into the main river system.
