About this map

Siskiyou National Forest dominates this mountain landscape in Josephine County, where numerous drainages carve through the high elevations of the Siskiyou Mountains. The terrain is defined by prominent summits such as Kerby Peak, Little Grayback Peak, and Holcomb Peak, reflecting a landscape managed primarily for forest resources and wilderness preservation. Water sources are abundant, with Sucker Creek and Lake Cr flowing through the valleys, while the secluded Rabbit Lake sits nestled below the peaks.

A notable historical marker of the area's geography is Oregon Bar, situated near the confluence of Sucker Creek and Grayback Cr. The southern edge of the survey transitions into the protected lands of the Oregon Caves National Monument and Preserve, showing the proximity of these underground wonders to the surface topography of Buck Peak. A dense network of forest service roads, including Mungers Creek Rd and various BLM roads, provides the only access into these steep gulches and canyons.
