1996 Map of Tallowbox Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

The Josephine and Jackson County line bisects this rugged section of the Siskiyou Mountains, where a long history of resource extraction is evident in the scattered mining claims across the terrain. Gold and quartz mining operations like the Bone of Contention Mine and Layton Mine are positioned along the deep drainages of Ferris Gulch and Bamboo Gulch. The northern edge of the map follows the Applegate River, featuring a Gaging Station and a small Mobile Home Park, while the southern reaches are dominated by the Rogue River National Forest. The landscape is defined by high ridgelines and peaks, including Tallowbox Mountain, which serves as a central landmark overlooking the branching networks of Thompson Creek and Star Gulch. A network of gulches—named for early settlers or distinctive events like Deadman Gulch and Ladybug Gulch—reveals the intricate topography that historically challenged travelers and miners alike.
