2020 Map of Signal Buttes

About this map

The Rogue River carves through this corner of Curry County, defining the geography with its series of gravel bars and landing points. As part of the Rogue Wild and Scenic River system, the waterway is flanked by landforms such as Canfield Bar, Kimball Bar, and Orchard Bar. Historical land use is evident in the presence of the Merriam Cem and Rumley Hill Cem, suggesting family plots or small community burials situated on the hills overlooking the river valley. To the south, the terrain transitions into the dense woods of the Siskiyou National Forest, where the topography rises toward Signal Buttes and Grizzly Mtn. Water features like Lake of the Woods and the Hunter Creek Bog highlight the complex hydrology of this coastal mountain range before the streams descend toward the Pacific.
