About this map

Siskiyou National Forest lands dominate this part of Curry County, where the coastal range transitions into a complex network of steep drainages. The Pistol River and its various branches, including the North Fork and South Fork, serve as the primary hydrologic features, carving through terrain marked by distinct summits such as Sundown Mtn and Pine Point. These watercourses create a rugged landscape that has historically limited dense settlement, with infrastructure largely confined to forest development roads.

Grounded in 2023 data, the map illustrates the persistence of remote wilderness character in Southwest Oregon. Specific landmarks like Red Flat and the curious Flycatcher Spring provide anchor points for those studying the area's geography. To the south, the N Bank Pistol River Rd follows the winding river valley, while further north, the headwaters of Hunter Creek and its tributaries like Big South Fork Hunter Creek drain toward the Pacific.
