2017 Map of Buckskin Peak

About this map

Buckskin Peak stands as the central landmark of this high-elevation terrain within the Siskiyou National Forest along the border of Josephine and Curry counties. This 2017 survey details a landscape defined by its complex drainage systems, including the headwaters of the N Fork Rough and Ready Cr and the S Fork Rough and Ready Cr. The map reveals a network of Forest Service infrastructure, such as Nat For Dev Rd 112 and Nat For Dev Rd 4402, which navigate the steep ridges between peaks like Oregon Mtn and Our Mtn. Small, isolated water features such as Baldface Lake, Cedar Springs, and Mud Spring provide critical points of interest for those studying the hydrology and recreational geography of this wilderness area. The presence of Frantz Meadow and the winding course of the W Fork Illinois River in the southeast corner further illustrate the varied mountain ecology preserved on this quadrangle.
