About this map

The Illinois Wild and Scenic River carves through the northeastern corner of this landscape, its path marked by features like Indian Flat and the Horse Sign Creek Rapids. Located on the boundary between Curry and Josephine counties, the area is defined by a dense network of high-elevation points such as Lawson Butte, Horse Sign Butte, and Buzzards Roost.

Settlement is absent in this wilderness, which is instead traced by historic routes like the Game Lake Trl and Pupp's Camp Way Trl. These paths provide the only overland access to remote waters like Game Lake and river features like Collier Bar. The terrain is managed as part of the Siskiyou National Forest and the Kalmiopsis Wilderness, maintaining a primitive character where the drainage of Lawson Creek and North Fork Collier Creek remains the primary structural element.
