About this map

Marial sits along a dramatic stretch of the Rogue River where the waterway carves through the steep terrain of the Oregon coast range. In this 2011 survey, the area remains defined by its isolation and river-centric history, anchored by the Marial Lodge and the Rogue River Ranch. The landscape is a complex network of canyons and bars, including the treacherous Mule Creek Canyon and numerous riverbank gravel deposits like Blossom Bar, Paradise Bar, and Solitude Bar.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Mule Creek Cemetery and Clay Hill Cemetery, marking the resting places of early settlers in this demanding environment. The map also detailes the recreational and observation points that define the modern character of the forest, from Inspiration Point and Hanging Rock to the Shasta Costa Overlook. Upstream from Clay Hill Stillwater, the South Fork Coquille River and its tributaries like Panther Creek drain the northern ridges near Panther Ridge.
