2014 Map of Buckskin Peak

About this map

Buckskin Peak and the high ridges of the Siskiyou National Forest dominate this terrain along the border of Josephine and Curry counties. This 2014 survey documents a complex network of drainages that feed the region's major waterways, including the headwaters of Baldface Cr and the winding course of the W Fork Illinois River. The landscape is defined by its topographic extremes, from the heights of Oregon Mtn and Our Mtn to the secluded waters of Baldface Lake. Small clearings and water sources like Frantz Meadow, Cedar Springs, and Mud Spring provide specific points of reference within the extensive forest boundaries. The map's detailed hydrography reveals the intricate forks of Whiskey Cr and the N Fork Rough and Ready Cr, illustrating the watershed patterns that have shaped this portion of the Klamath Mountains.
