1989 Map of Tincup Peak

About this map

The Illinois National Wild and Scenic River and the upper reaches of the Chetco River dominate this 1989 topographic study of the Siskiyou Mountains. This remote landscape is defined by its placement within the Siskiyou National Forest and the Kalmiopsis Wilderness, showing a terrain where drainage patterns like Tincup Creek and Box Canyon Creek dictate the geography. Cultural markers are few, yet significant for local history, including the Cedar Camp (Site) and river features such as Chetco Bar and Taggarts Bar. High-altitude landmarks like Mount Billingslea, Tincup Peak, and Granite Butte provide a framework for the drainage basins of the Gold Basin and Klondike Creek. The map also captures the administrative boundary between Josephine and Curry counties as it traverses high ridges like Tincup Pass.
