About this map

The Chetco River and Winchuck River dominate this coastal landscape, where the Siskiyou mountains meet the Pacific. The settlement of Harbor serves as the primary hub, situated near the mouth of the Winchuck, while the interior is defined by steep terrain features like Gardner Ridge and the prominent Mt Emily. This area preserves significant local history through the Pioneer Cem and Van Pelt Cem, markers of early family settlement along the coast.

Extending into the Siskiyou National Forest, the map traces numerous tributaries such as Jack Cr and Emily Cr, alongside high ridgelines including Peavine Ridge and Panda Ridge. The coastline is dotted with distinct maritime landmarks like McVay Rock and Camel Rock, part of the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge. Notable riverside locations like Ostenbery Bar suggest the historical importance of the riverbanks for seasonal use and habitation before the rugged interior rises toward the forest boundary.
