2020 Map of Kelsey Peak

About this map

The Rogue Wild and Scenic River carves a deep path through the Siskiyou National Forest, serving as the primary geographical focus for this Josephine County survey. Along the river's winding course, distinct gravel bars and riverfront landings such as Missouri Bar, Winkle Bar, and Battle Bar define the historical human presence in this steep terrain. The presence of the Winkle Bar Airport highlights the unique transportation challenges of this corridor, where access often depends on small airstrips or winding forest routes like the Mule Creek-Marial Rd. Elevated features like Kelsey Peak and the Bald Ridge overlook a complex network of drainages, including Mule Cr and Jenny Cr. This landscape remains largely undeveloped, characterized by its system of Bureau of Land Management roads and the high-elevation open space of Big Meadows near the northern boundary.
