About this map

The Sixes River winds through this section of Curry County, carving through a landscape defined by prominent heights and isolated clearings within the Siskiyou National Forest. In the northern reaches, Edson Butte and Calf Ranch Prairie stand as notable landmarks above the drainage of Edson Cr and Carlton Cr. The central portion of the map is dominated by the narrow passage at Hells Gate and the distinctive formation of Elephant Rock.

Smaller settlements and clearings like Plum Trees and Elk Wallows are connected by a network of forest roads, including Moore Mill Rd and Sixes River Rd. To the south, the terrain rises significantly toward Mt Butler and China Peak, overlooking the headwaters of Butler Cr and the South Fork Sixes River. This survey captures the complex topography of the Oregon coast range, where timber management and natural drainage patterns dictate the placement of roads and namesake peaks.
