About this map

The Siskiyou National Forest dominates this landscape in Curry County, where the coastal range defines a complex network of drainage basins. The area is anchored by Sundown Mountain and Pyramid Rock, with the terrain falling away into deep drainages like Hunter Creek to the north and the Pistol River to the south. This 2014 survey records a remote timber and recreation landscape where travel is dictated by forest development roads and specialized routes such as S Bank Pistol Rd and Wild Horse Lookout Rd.

Resource management and natural features characterize the area, with the map identifying critical water sources like Flycatcher Spring and distinctive landforms such as Red Flat and Pine Point. The presence of numerous named tributaries, including Little S Fork Hunter Cr and Sunrise Cr, highlights the hydrological significance of this section of the Oregon coast range during the early 21st century.
