About this map

The Illinois Wild and Scenic River carves a deep path through the center of this terrain, anchored by the prominent Eight Dollar Mtn to the south. This area within the Siskiyou National Forest is characterized by a complex network of drainages and named gulches, such as Store Gulch, Hoover Gulch, and Mikes Gulch, that feed into the main river channel. The landscape's varying elevations are marked by high points like Squaw Mtn and Serpentine Point, while flatter reaches along the riverbanks are identified as Kerby Flat and Star Flat.

Transport through this part of Josephine County is limited primarily to forest access routes like Norman Rd and Warren Rd in the southeast. The survey detail highlights the intricate hydrography of the region, from the Illinois River to its many tributaries like Sixmile Cr, Shade Cr, and Deer Cr. This map captures a specific moment in the management of these federal lands, documenting the relationship between the wild river corridor and the surrounding peaks of the Klamath Mountains.
