About this map

The Rogue Wild and Scenic River carves through the northern reaches of this landscape, defining a corridor of historic river navigation and landmarks. Watermen and locals once relied on distinct river features like Lowery Riffle, Bacon Flat, and Hedge Eddy to navigate the moving waters. To the south, the terrain rises sharply into the peaks of the Siskiyou National Forest, including the prominent Quosatana Butte and Sugarloaf Mtn.

Evidence of high-country habitation and seasonal use appears at Wildhorse Prairie and the Fritsche Cabin, located near the headwaters of several drainage systems. The map details a complex network of creeks, such as Lawson Cr and Silver Creek, which flow through deep incisions like Skookumhouse Canyon toward the Pistol River and the Rogue. This 2020 survey documents the enduring physical landmarks of this isolated part of Curry County.
