About this map

Josephine Mountain and the surrounding Kalmiopsis Wilderness heights define this 2011 survey of Josephine County. The landscape is marked by the resource extraction history of Southern Oregon, evidenced by the high-elevation Babyfoot Mine and the Alberg Mine located near Josephine Creek. These sites reflect the region's enduring connection to mining, even as much of the area transitioned toward conservation and recreation.

Remote outposts and seasonal habitations such as Onion Camp, Bailey Cabin, and Emily Cabin are scattered across a complex drainage system that includes the Little Chetco River and North Fork Rough and Ready Creek. These features, alongside Babyfoot Lake and Rough and Ready Lakes, highlight a geography where water access and steep terrain dictated the placement of early forest camps and mountain landmarks like Hungry Hill and Canyon Peak.
