About this map

The Rogue River carves a dramatic path through this section of the Klamath Mountains, defining the landscape with a series of technical whitewater features and sharp turns. The river's serpentine course is highlighted by the prominent Horseshoe Bend and numerous navigational landmarks including Tyee Rapids, Wildcat Rapids, and the Howard Creek Chute. This corridor has long been a focal point for backcountry access, evidenced here by the settlement at Black Bar and the proximity of Upper Black Bar Falls.

Away from the water, the terrain rises sharply into the Horse Range and the steep ravines of California Gulch. A network of Bureau of Land Management routes, such as BLM-33-8-26, provides the primary infrastructure through the heavily timbered Josephine and Douglas County borders. From the cold waters of Whisky Creek Spring to the various bars like Tyee Bar, the map document a rugged region defined by its river-driven geography.
