About this map

The Siskiyou Mountains define this cross-border landscape where the high-elevation terrain of Jackson and Siskiyou counties meets at the Oregon-California state line. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the western half of the sheet, passing landmarks like Hobart Peak, Hobart Bluff, and Soda Mountain. This area within the Rogue River National Forest is characterized by its complex hydrology, featuring the Howard Prairie Canal, Parsnip Lakes, and numerous drainages like Keene Creek and Skookum Creek.

In the northeast, the Green Springs Highway (OR-66) provides access to Mountain View and the Pinehurst State Airport, serving as a primary corridor through the timberlands. Notable features for local history and topography include Tub Springs, the high lookout at Boccard Point, and the expansive Agate Flat near the southern boundary. The presence of specialized infrastructure like the Rosebud Helipond and the Soda Mountain Lookout Road underscores the region's focus on forest management and fire observation during this era.
