About this map

Siskiyou National Forest covers much of this Josephine County terrain, where the northern edge of the Oregon Caves National Monument and Preserve meets high ridgelines and deep drainages. The landscape is defined by the Siskiyou Mountains, including prominent summits like Kerby Peak and Kailapa Mtn. A network of drainage systems such as Sucker Creek and Grayback Creek create narrow corridors where early mining and transit occurred, indicated by place names like Oregon Bar along the water's edge.

Transit through these mountains relies on a complex system of Bureau of Land Management roads, such as the Munger Creek Rd and White Creek Rd, which navigate the steep transition from Cedar Flat up toward Mungers Butte. These routes reflect the modern management of a wilderness area historically valued for its timber and mineral potential, providing a clear record of the watershed boundaries and topographical peaks that have shaped the region's geography.
