2011 Map of Galice

About this map

Galice sits along a winding stretch of the Rogue River, where steep gulches and mountain creeks define a landscape shaped by a legacy of resource extraction. This 2011 survey documents a region punctuated by numerous historic mining sites, such as the Almeda Mine near Almeda Bar and the Old Channel Mine further south. The settlement of Rand and the Hellgate Bridge serve as central points along the river corridor, while the higher elevations are marked by landmarks like Buckhorn Mountain and the Taylor Gorge Overlook. The intricate network of forest roads, including Galice Rd and various BLM routes, provides access to the many named gulches like Rich Gulch and Toss Gulch that drain into the Rogue. This map captures the modern footprint of a historically productive mining district, documenting the continued importance of the river and its rugged tributaries.
