About this map

Buckskin Peak rises at the center of this 1980s landscape, marking a high point in the remote territory along the Josephine and Curry County line. The map captures a wilderness area dominated by the Siskiyou National Forest and the Kalmiopsis Wilderness, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems. Water flows through Baldface Creek, Diamond Creek, and Whiskey Creek, eventually reaching the Illinois River in the southeast.

Evidence of historical resource exploration is scattered across the slopes, indicated by numerous Prospect and Prospects labels, particularly in the vicinity of Oregon Mountain. These markers highlight the region's legacy of mineral scouting. Localized features like Frantz Meadow, Mud Spring, and Cedar Springs provide specific points of interest for those tracing old trails or land use patterns in this secluded part of the Klamath Mountains.
