2017 Map of Marial

About this map

The Rogue River carves a deep path through the Siskiyou National Forest in this coastal range region, creating a landscape defined by dramatic river bars and treacherous water features. Remote settlements and family landmarks are preserved along the riverbanks, including the community of Marial and the nearby Mule Creek Cemetery. The river's character is marked by numerous natural hazards and stopping points such as Blossom Bar Rapids, Solitude Riffle, and the Clay Hill Rapids. Further south, the Clay Hill Cemetery sits near a bend in the water, offering a point of interest for genealogists tracing pioneer families in this isolated terrain. Uplands like Bobs Garden Mountain and Mule Mountain overlook the deep gorges of Mule Creek Canyon and Huggins Canyon, illustrating the challenging topography that limited development to the river corridor.
