2014 Map of Fourth of July Creek

About this map

The Siskiyou National Forest dominates this section of Curry County, where the steep canyons and ridges of the Klamath Mountains define the landscape. The Winchuck River system serves as the primary drainage for the region, with its E Fork Winchuck River and the namesake Fourth of July Creek cutting deep through the terrain. The map captures a moment of intensive forest management, evidenced by the network of National Forest Development Roads like Nat For Dev RD 1107 and Nat For Dev RD 150 that snake across the slopes to reach high points such as Wheeler Ridge. Prominent peaks like Packsaddle Mtn and Elk Mtn stand as landmarks in this heavily timbered country, while smaller watercourses like Salmon Cr and Rough Cr feed the larger river systems that eventually reach the Oregon coast.
