About this map

Siskiyou National Forest dominates this 1989 provisional survey, documenting the remote backcountry of the Kalmiopsis Wilderness along the border of Curry and Josephine counties. The landscape is defined by the steep drainage of the Illinois River, which is designated here as the Illinois National Wild and Scenic River. This map captures several isolated sites of human activity, including the Hurt Cabin (Site) and various clearings such as Fry Place, Conners Place, and Fantz Ranch.

A network of primitive routes and a Pack Trail provide the only access through the dense topography. Significant elevation markers like Horse Sign Butte, Gray Butte, and Game Lake Peak overlook the river's winding course. Distinctive river features such as Submarine Hole, Collier Bar, and Horse Sign Creek Rapids indicate the river's character before it meets the North Fork Collier Creek in the southern portion of the quadrangle.
