About this map

Rogue River National Forest defines the rugged geography of this 1983 provisional survey, which spans the state line between Oregon and California. The landscape is marked by the historical footprint of the Siskiyou Mountains' mining and ranching heritage. Local extraction is evidenced by the Billy Mtn Mine, Steamboat Mine, and Joy Bird Mine, while small residential nodes and historical sites like Steamboat (Site), Steamboat Ranch, and Baker Flat appear along the drainage of Carberry Creek.

The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the waters of Applegate Lake, a reservoir formed along the Applegate River and its various tributaries such as Elliott Creek. Notable peaks including Kinney Mountain and Steamboat Mtn rise above the dense network of gulches and creeks, such as China Gulch and Kinney Creek. The map also traces the complex political boundaries where Josephine, Jackson, and Siskiyou counties meet.
