About this map

The Rogue River carves a complex path through this section of Douglas County, defining the landscape with significant riverine features like the dramatic Horseshoe Bend and the navigation hazards of Upper Black Bar Falls and Lower Black Bar Falls. The river corridor is a focal point for seasonal activity and remote habitation, marked by Black Bar Lodge and the Whisky Creek Cabin. Numerous campgrounds, such as Russian Creek Campground and Big Windy Creek Campground, line the banks, suggesting the area's long-standing importance for outdoor recreation and river transit.

Upland from the river, the terrain is structured by the Horse Range and a dense network of watercourses including Bunker Creek and Kelsey Creek. Evidence of backcountry use is found at high-elevation sites like Trappers Camp and Meadow Camp, while a system of Bureau of Land Management roads, such as BLM 32-7-19.3 RD, provides the primary access to the ridges and valleys between California Gulch and the Horse Range.
