About this map

Bagnell Ferry and the Rogue River corridor anchor this coastal Oregon landscape, where river bars and high prairies define the settlement patterns. The map highlights the historic presence of family and community sites, such as the Rumley Hill Cemetery and Merriam Cemetery located north of the river. Moving south into the Siskiyou National Forest, the terrain rises toward Signal Buttes and Grizzly Mountain, punctuated by remote clearings like Hooter Scooter Prairie and Wagontire Prairie.

Resource extraction and land use are evident through the McKinley Mine and the established Pickle Ranch in the southern reaches. Numerous named water features, including Libby Creek Pond and the Lake of the Woods, illustrate a complex drainage system feeding into the North Fork Hunter Creek. The road network, including Jerrys Flat Rd and various Forest Service routes, provides a look at the infrastructure supporting this timber and ranching region.
