About this map

Soldier Camp Mountain and the high ridges of the Siskiyou National Forest dominate this terrain in Curry County. The topography is defined by the sharp descent from peaks like Potato Illahe Mtn and Lake of the Woods Mtn toward the southern drainage of the Rogue River. Along the riverbanks, numerous named water features including Upper Coal Riffle, Shingle Riffle, and Auberry Riffle mark the river's path, highlighting the importance of the waterway to local navigation and identity.

Evidence of early land use and naming conventions is found in the scattered mountain meadows and clearings such as Steffin Meadow, Adams Prairie, and the curiously named Skookumhouse Prairie. While the settlement of Bacon Flat sits near the river, much of the area is carved by a network of forest development roads, including Agness Rd and Big Draw Rd, which facilitate access through the steep drainages of S Fork Lobster Cr and Fall Cr.
