About this map

Tallowbox Mountain stands as a central topographic anchor in this portion of the Siskiyou Mountains, located along the border of Josephine and Jackson counties. The 2014 survey reveals a landscape of steep drainages and prominent summits within the Rogue River National Forest. Waterways such as the Applegate River and Thompson Cr shape the movement through the terrain, with many smaller gulches and coves bearing the names of early settlers or local lore.

Evidence of historical land use and early resource exploration is found in the naming of several deep canyons, including Nineteenthundred Sixteen Gulch and its neighbor, Nineteenthundred Seventeen Gulch. From high points like Mee Peak and Palmer Peak to the lower reaches of Star Gulch, the map details a network of forest roads and trails that connect these high-elevation features. This modern topographic study provides an essential spatial reference for the complex geography of the Applegate Valley region.
