About this map

Lake Selmac and the surrounding timberlands of the Siskiyou National Forest dominate this landscape in southwest Oregon. The map centers on the Redwood Hwy corridor, which connects the small rural hubs of Selma, Wonder, and Dryden. These settlements are characterized by a mix of forestry, small-scale ranching, and localized infrastructure, as evidenced by several private airstrips including Wonder Airport and Backachers Ranch Airport. Local history is anchored by the Selma Cem and Deer Creek Cem, providing valuable points of interest for genealogical research.

The terrain is defined by a dense network of gulches and creeks, including Slate Cr and Deer Creek, which flow through the mountains and flats. Transportation routes like Old Redwood Hwy and Hayes Hill Summit trace the historical movement through this portion of Josephine County. The presence of the B Bar Ranch Airport further highlights the aviation-oriented nature of the larger property holdings in the valley.
