About this map

Siskiyou National Forest dominates this 2014 survey of southwestern Oregon, where the complex drainage systems of the Pistol River and the Chetco River carve through high-elevation peaks. The topography is defined by prominent summits including Collier Butte and Snow Camp Mtn, while the presence of locations like Stack Yards and Three Trees suggests the area's history of backcountry resource management and seasonal habitation. This landscape is a network of ridges and meadows, such as Fairview Meadow and Snow Camp Meadow, connected by a web of Forest Service development roads.

Water is a defining characteristic of the terrain, with numerous tributaries like the E Fork Pistol River and Mineral Hill Fork flowing from the slopes of Mineral Hill. Smaller landmarks like Panther Lake and Huntley Spring provide isolated points of reference within the dense forest. This survey is a record of the wilderness just inland from the Pacific coast, documenting the peaks and valleys that have long challenged and sustained those working in the Oregon timber and mining frontiers.
