About this map

Rogue River rapids and riffles dominate the northern landscape of this Curry County interior, where the waterway carves through high ridges near Hayes Eddy. The map detail captures the complex river morphology of the era, naming specific navigational points such as Lowery Riffle, Silver Creek Riffle, and Bacon Flat Riffle. This terrain is defined by dramatic elevations including Quosatana Butte and Skookumhouse Butte, with the latter overlooking the deep Skookumhouse Canyon.

Protected within the Siskiyou National Forest, the region is crisscrossed by an extensive network of Forest Service roads, such as Agness Rd and Signal Butte Rd, which provide access to high-altitude clearings like Wildhorse Prairie. To the south, the drainage of the Pistol River begins to emerge, guarded by peaks such as Sugarloaf Mtn and Saddle Mtn, illustrating the watershed divides of the Southern Oregon coast range.
