2020 Map of Quail Prairie Mountain

About this map

The Siskiyou National Forest dominates this landscape in Curry County, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of high ridges and narrow river valleys. High points such as Quail Prairie Mtn and Snaketooth Butte rise above deep drainages, while the Chetco Wild and Scenic River carves through the western portion of the quadrangle. The map reveals the isolation of places like Swede Heaven and Red Mountain Prairie, and traces the complex system of forest roads that navigate between landmarks like Devils Backbone and Pollywog Butte. The density of named ridges—including Panda Ridge, Moores Ridge, and Long Ridge—illustrates the intricate topography of the Southern Oregon Coast Range and the importance of these landforms for navigation and resource management within the national forest system.
