About this map

Cave Junction serves as a central hub in the Illinois Valley, where the Illinois River meets the East Fork Illinois River. This 2014 survey captures the community's layout along the Redwood Hwy, featuring local landmarks like the Laurel Cem and the northern extent of the Oregon Caves National Monument. To the north, the settlement of Kerby remains a distinct point of interest, situated near Kerby Slough and the Jacobson Springs.

The landscape is defined by the steep transition into the Siskiyou National Forest, marked by numerous named gulches and high points such as Tennessee Mtn and Woodcock Mtn. An intricate network of mountain roads, including the Nat For Dev Rd 4201 and Eight Dollar Mountain Rd, provides access to remote features like Free and Easy Pass and Tennessee Pass, illustrating the area's history of forest management and backcountry exploration.
