About this map

The Rogue River carves through the northern reaches of this territory, defining a landscape of dramatic elevation and named water features like Hayes Eddy and Silver Creek Riffle. This portion of the Siskiyou National Forest is characterized by its significant peaks and high-elevation clearings, including Quosatana Butte, Skookumhouse Butte, and the open expanse of Wildhorse Prairie. A complex network of Forest Service roads, such as Agness Rd and Signal Butte Rd, provides the primary access through these steep drainages.

Waterways like the Pistol River and Lawson Creek create a deep drainage pattern across the southern terrain, where Sugarloaf Mtn and Saddle Mtn stand as prominent landmarks. The map records specific river characteristics vital for navigation and local history, naming several distinct riffles including Quosatana Creek Riffle and Bacon Flat Riffle, which reflect the dynamic nature of the river system before modern alterations.
