About this map

Siskiyou National Forest land defines this portion of the Klamath Mountains, where the high ridges of the Kalmiopsis Wilderness separate the drainage basins of the Smith and Illinois Rivers. The terrain is marked by prominent summits including Buckskin Peak and Oregon Mtn, with the county line between Curry and Josephine counties following the high ground of the Kalmiopsis Rim Trl.

Water sources are numerous throughout these high-elevation slopes, from Baldface Lake in the northwest to Cedar Springs and the headwaters of Rough and Ready Creek. The map detail shows a network of established paths such as the Franz Meadows Trl and Buckskin Peak Trl, which connect open spaces like Frantz Meadow to the surrounding peaks. To the southeast, the terrain descends toward the West Fork Illinois River, illustrating the complex hydrology of this mountainous border region.
