About this map

Josephine Mountain and Fiddler Mtn define the high-relief landscape of this section of the Siskiyou National Forest along the border of Curry and Josephine counties. The area is characterized by steep drainages and isolated water sources, including Babyfoot Lake and the high-elevation Rough and Ready Lakes in the south. The complex system of canyons is drained by the Little Chetco River and numerous named gulches such as Lightning Gulch and Rocky Bar Gulch.

Logistics across this difficult terrain are limited to forest routes like Nat For Dev Rd 4201, which traverses the northern ridges near Hungry Hill. For the local historian or researcher, the map reveals the precise placement of remote camps and springs, such as Limber Camp Spring near Doe Gap, and identifies prominent landmarks like Canyon Peak and Hawks Rest that have served as navigational waypoints in these mountains for generations.
