About this map

The coastal mountains of Curry County meet the Pacific lowlands in this detailed 2023 survey. The Sixes River and Elk River dominate the drainage patterns, carving through steep topography defined by Poverty Ridge and notable peaks like Silver Butte and Stone Butte. The small community of Sixes sits along the northern reach of the Elk River basin, while the northern edge of Port Orford appears in the southwestern corner, showing local streets such as Oregon St and Idaho St.

Resource management and conservation are central to this landscape, as seen in the sprawling Siskiyou National Forest and the protected Grassy Knob Wilderness. Local industry and infrastructure are represented by the Marsh Log-Pond and Richman Reservoir, alongside agricultural landmarks like Cranberry Ln. The map documents a complex network of forest and county roads, including Co Hwy 184 and Elk River Rd, which navigate the various forks of Crystal Creek and Edson Creek.
