1989 Map of York Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

The Illinois National Wild and Scenic River carves through this portion of the Siskiyou National Forest, defining a landscape where industrial history meets protected wilderness. In the late 1980s, this area of Josephine County remains dominated by the steep drainages of North Fork Silver Creek and Briggs Creek. Historical activity is centered on the Old Glory Mine and a Quarry to the south, while former habitations like the Nobles House (Site) and Pine Creek Camp (Site) reflect the region’s older settlement patterns within what is now the Kalmiopsis Wilderness. Significant landmarks such as Silver Falls and York Butte stand as fixed points in a terrain of deep canyons, including Dorr Canyon, where river bars like Panther Bar and Brushy Bar mark the shifting course of the Illinois River.
