About this map

The Illinois River cuts a deep path through the eastern half of this terrain, where the rugged topography of the Siskiyou National Forest is defined by a network of steep gulches and high summits. This 2017 survey captures the remote character of the boundary between Curry and Josephine counties, anchored by the prominent Pearsoll Peak. Settlement patterns are sparse and tied to the river's course and accessible flats, such as Oak Flat and Miami Bar in the north, and Horse Flat further south.

Logistics in this wilderness are dictated by Forest Service routes like the Illinois River Rd, which provides access to the interior. Notable high points including Gold Basin Butte, Castle Rock, and Eagle Mtn overlook a complex drainage system fed by numerous creeks such as Baker Cr and Rancherie Cr. The map preserves the specific locations of geographic crossings like Chetco Pass and open stretches of high ground like Sourdough Flat, which remain essential landmarks for navigating this corner of the Klamath Mountains.
