1983 Map of Tallowbox Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Tallowbox Mountain and the high ridges of the Rogue River National Forest dominate this 1980s landscape on the border of Josephine and Jackson Counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of gulches and creeks, including the south-flowing Thompson Creek and the Applegate River cutting across the northern edge. This area reflects a long-standing history of mineral exploration, marked by distinctively named sites such as the Bone of Contention Mine, Layton Mine, and Maid of the Mist Mine. The distribution of these claims, along with the Star Mine, suggests a landscape heavily shaped by prospectors working the steep drainages. High points like Jim Mee Peak and Nine Mile Peak overlook a system of forked waters and natural landmarks like Mee Jamison Cove Creek and Ruch Pond, illustrating the complex topography that historically challenged travel and extraction in this corner of Oregon.
