About this map

Rogue River rapids and bars dominate this portion of the Siskiyou National Forest along the boundary of Curry and Josephine counties. The landscape is defined by the steep drainage basins of Mule Creek, Kelsey Creek, and Big Windy Creek, where the river cuts through the Wild Rogue Wilderness. Historically significant river crossings and landing sites are documented, including Missouri Bar, China Bar, and Winkle Bar.

Remote accessibility is a key theme of this 2023 survey, showing the Winkle Bar Airport and a network of primitive routes such as the Mule Creek-Marial Rd and the Rogue River National Recreation Trail. Prominent high points like Kelsey Peak and Brandy Peak overlook the river's descent through treacherous stretches like Island Rapids and Big Boulder Rapids, providing a detailed record of the terrain as it exists in the modern era.
