About this map

Tallowbox Mtn and the surrounding peaks of the Rogue River National Forest dominate this landscape along the border of Josephine and Jackson counties. The area is defined by a dense network of gulches and creeks, including the winding Thompson Creek and Star Gulch, which feed into the northern drainage of the Applegate River. Small-scale water management is evident through features like Kinworthy Reservoir and Brown Res, supporting the localized settlement of Williams in the northwest corner.

The map reveals a transition from the lower valley floors to high-elevation landmarks such as Jim Mee Peak, Palmer Peak, and Humpy Mtn. Of particular interest to local historians are the uniquely named drainages like Nineteenhundred Sixteen Gulch and Nineteenhundred Seventeen Gulch, which suggest a specific era of activity or discovery in these hills. This survey records the contemporary road network, from named routes like Keeler Creek Rd and Star Gulch Rd to remote access points like BLM RD 39-5-23.1.
