1998 Map of Bosley Butte

About this map

Siskiyou National Forest lands dominate this late-1990s topographic survey, where the Chetco River carves its way through the southern reaches of Curry County. The landscape is defined by a series of highland meadows or openings, including Lookingglass Prairie, Yank Prairie, and Horse Prairie, which sit in contrast to the dense forest surroundings. Notable elevations like Bosley Butte and Cashner Butte punctuate the ridges, while the Pistol River and its south fork drain the northwestern quadrant. Recreation sites are concentrated along the river corridor, including South Fork Campground, Little Redwood Campground, and a portion of Alfred A Loeb State Park near the southern boundary. Along the upper riverbanks, features such as Miller Bar and Redwood Bar indicate seasonal gravel deposits, while the presence of Ruins near Horse Prairie provides a specific point of interest for those tracing the history of human habitation and land use in this coastal mountain region.
