About this map

The Rogue Wild and Scenic River carves a deep path through the boundary of Josephine and Douglas counties, creating a landscape defined by dramatic water features and steep elevation changes. This reach of the Rogue River is noted for its technical navigable hazards, including Russian Rapids, Montgomery Rapids, and the powerful Black Bar Falls. These features are connected by the Rogue River National Recreation Trail, which follows the northern bank through the Horseshoe Bend and past Black Bar.

Away from the water, the terrain rises toward the Horse Range, where the network of forest access roads such as BLM Rd 33-8-26 and BLM Rd 32-7-19.3 provide the primary infrastructure. Several high-elevation water sources, like Whisky Creek Spring and Cool Spring, are critical landmarks in this heavily dissected country. The map illustrates a region managed for both its wild character and its timber heritage, where the transition from river bars like Tyee Bar to the high ridges of the Horse Range occurs over a very short horizontal distance.
