About this map

The Illinois Wild and Scenic River carves through this remote section of the Siskiyou National Forest, defining a landscape of deep canyons and protected territory. This 2023 survey documents the modern state of the Kalmiopsis Wilderness, where narrow trails like the Illinois River Trl and Silver Creek Trl provide the only access to landmarks such as York Butte and Chinaman Hat.

Small riverfront clearings including Pine Flat, Panther Bar, and Brushy Bar serve as isolated points of interest along the water's edge, while the complex drainage network of Silver Creek and its many forks—North Fork Silver Creek, Little Silver Creek, and South Fork Silver Creek—dominates the northern topography. High-altitude features like Flat Top and the secluded Little Silver Cr Lake are documented alongside established routes such as the Shasta Noble Way Trl, illustrating the continued importance of historical backcountry trails in this part of Josephine County.
