About this map

Kalmiopsis Wilderness defines the character of this terrain along the border of Josephine and Curry Counties. The landscape is shaped by the steep canyons of two protected waterways: the Illinois Wild and Scenic River in the north and the Chetco Wild and Scenic River to the south. Historically significant river bars, such as Chetco Bar and Taggarts Bar, indicate the alluvial points of interest that have long served as landmarks for travelers through the Siskiyou National Forest.

High-altitude points like Tincup Peak and Heather Mtn are linked by a network of primitive routes, including the Kalmiopsis Rim Trl and Tincup Trl. The presence of Gold Basin Springs near the center of the sheet highlights the isolated water sources essential for exploration in this part of the Klamath Mountains. The map provides a detailed view of the township and range boundaries that grid this otherwise roadless wilderness.
