1998 Map of Marial

About this map

The Rogue River carves a deep path through the Siskiyou National Forest in this 1998 revision, which documents a landscape defined by its remote river-access settlements and treacherous water features. At the heart of the map is the isolated settlement of Marial, situated near the Rogue River Ranch and a small Cem, marking a rare pocket of habitation in the Wild Rogue Wilderness. The river's character is evidenced by a series of named hazards and landmarks, from the technical waters of Blossom Bar Rapids and Clay Hill Rapids to the Devils Stairs. Evidence of forest management and backcountry travel is clear, with a Landing Strip near Paradise Creek and the National Scenic Trail winding along the steep terrain. Landforms like Hanging Rock and Mule Mountain provide prominent vertical relief in this roadless territory.
