About this map

Buckskin Peak and the high ridges of the Kalmiopsis Rim dominate this 2020 topographic survey of the Josephine and Curry county line. Located within the Siskiyou National Forest, the landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where the headwaters of the W Fork Illinois River and Diamond Creek originate. The area’s isolation is evident in the lack of primary roads, with the Wimer route providing one of the few named access points through the mountainous terrain.

Several local high points including Oregon Mountain and Our Mountain stand above water sources such as Baldface Lake and Mud Spring. For those tracing local landmarks or timber history, the map identifies specific clearings and meadows like Frantz Meadow and Franz Meadows, alongside numerous named tributaries including N Fork Rough and Ready Creek and Biscuit Creek. This contemporary record preserves the official nomenclature of this remote Oregon wilderness.
