About this map

The South Fork Coquille River carves a deep path through this portion of the Siskiyou National Forest in the mid-1980s. The landscape is defined by its drainage network, with numerous named waterways like Salmon Creek and Pyburn Creek feeding into the main river channel. Small pockets of activity appear near the riverbank at Orchard Park and China Flat, while the uplands are dominated by high points such as Johnson Mountain and Woodby Mountain.

Resource extraction and recreation coexist in this corner of Coos County, as evidenced by scattered borrow pits, a Quarry, and the Powers State Airport at the northern edge. Researchers can trace historic access via the Lockhart Tr or find leisure sites at Myrtle Grove Campground and Boundary Campground. The map also details family-named terrain features like Jim Hayes Cr and McCurdy Creek, which offer valuable data for local genealogical study.
