About this map

York Butte and the surrounding wilderness of the Siskiyou National Forest dominate this 2020 landscape in Josephine County. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Illinois Wild and Scenic River, which carves through the mountains alongside features like Panther Bar and Brushy Bar. This area is characterized by steep canyons and named peaks, including Silver Peak and Chinaman Hat.

A network of remote routes such as Hobson Horn Trail, Pine Flat Way, and Shorty Noble Way provide the primary access to isolated points like Pine Flat. The map documents a complex hydrological system where Silver Creek and its many forks feed into high-elevation water bodies like Little Silver Lake and Little Silver Cr Lake. These landmarks, along with numerous springs and creeks like Briggs Creek, illustrate a rugged, largely undeveloped portion of the Oregon Coast Range.
