1998 Map of Galice

About this map

The Rogue National Wild and Scenic River dominates this portion of the Siskiyou Mountains, carving a deep corridor past the settlement of Galice and the Rand administrative site. This 1990s revision by the USDA Forest Service highlights a landscape transitioning from its 19th-century gold mining roots toward a modern economy of recreation and conservation. Remnants of the region's mineral wealth are visible in the numerous labeled workings, including the Almeda Mine, Golden Wedge Mine, and Black Bear Mine. While the river remains a central artery for travel via the Country Byway and river access points like Almeda County Park, the surrounding terrain is defined by steep drainages such as Taylor Creek and Stratton Creek. Notable landmarks include the dramatic Hellgate Canyon and the Rand Visitor Center, which serve as gateways to the Siskiyou National Forest.
