  • Kalmiopsis Wilderness Watershed Analysis Revis-Ion-I
    DOCUMENI A 13.2: K 34x Kalmiopsis Wilderness Watershed Analysis Revis-ion-I- 4;/4A Approved orest Supervisor Dafe Siskiyou National Forest SOUTHERN OREGON UNIVERSITY UBW'Y ASUNLAND, OREGON 97520 SOUTHERN OREGON UNIVERSIT LIBRARY INTRODUCTION The Kalmiopsis Wilderness, located in Southwestern Oregon, encompasses 179,850 acres and is entirely in the Siskiyou National Forest. The major part of the Wilderness is in five watersheds, Upper Chetco River, Lower Chetco River, West Fork of the Illinois River, Illinois River below Briggs Creek and a Key Watershed, the Upper North Fork of the Smith River. The Wilderness Act stipulates that wilderness is "Federal Land.. .which is.. .managed so as to preserve its natural condition and which generally 3ppears to have been affected primarily by the forces of nature...." The Kalmiopsis Wilderness was first designated as a Wild Area under the Secretary of Agriculture Regulation U-2 in 1946. The Wilderness Act of 1964 converted the Wild Area to Wilderness. The Endangered American Wilderness Act of 1978 added 102,950 acres, making its present size of 179,850 acres. In addition to trails, access in the Kalmiopsis Wilderness is via existing primitive mining roads that were constructed in the 1930's well before the designation of the Wilderness by Congress. The Wilderness Acts noted above, specifically permitted the continued existence, perpetuation, and use of these roads. Though the roads are narrow, steep, and primitive in character, they are passable by 4-wheel drive vehicles, ATVs, and motorcycles. The roads are blocked by gates and closed to motorized public travel. However, they are available for motorized access through a Special Use Permit process.

  • Woodcock Bog RNA and West Fork Illinois River
    Woodcock Bog RNA and West Fork Illinois River Leaders: Marcia Wineteer and Rachel Showalter, Medford District BLM botanists, Elevation: 1480 – 1800 feet. Elevation Gain: – 400 feet Difficulty: Easy 2 - 3 miles round trip hiking on road and off trail. Description: Join Marcia and Rachel on an easy hike to the BLM’s Woodcock Bog Research Natural Area. This area represents an outstanding example of a hanging fen on serpentine soils, as well as open forest stands of Pinus jeffreyi (Jeffrey pine) and denser stands of Chamaecyparis lawsoniana (Port-Orford cedar). Most rare species occurring there bloom in the spring, but in July we’ll still see the vegetative leaves of Darlingtonia californica (cobra lily), and blooming Epilobium oreganum (Oregon willow-herb), Gentian setigera (elegant gentian), possibly Calochortus howellii (Howell’s mariposa lily), Viola primulifolia ssp. occidentalis (Western bog violet), and other later blooming species. After spending a couple of hours wandering around the fens at Woodcock Bog, we’ll head south to Obrien and FS Road 4402, which follows the West Fork Illinois River. We’ll stop at another BLM parcel that contains an abundance of rare serpentine species, where we can wander and search for the rare species Arabis koehleri (Koehler’s rockcress), Monardella purpurea (Siskiyou monardella), Epilobium rigidum (stiff willow-herb), Castilleja brevilobata (short-lobe Indian paintbrush), and Eriogonum pendulum (Waldo buckwheat), as well as more common later-blooming species. Start time: 8:30 am. Estimated finish time: 3:00 pm. RT Mileage: Approximately 40 miles round trip driving from Deer Creek Center. Group Size Limit: 12 Woodcock Bog RNA – Approximate Boundary Next Page, cover to Guidebook Supplement 40, Woodcock Bog Research Natural Area.

  • Days Gone By
    Days Gone By Early Roads in Grants Pass By Bob Chard As this is an article about the first roads in Josephine County, one has to note the location of the earliest communities. The roads were then placed between them. The very first road was the Applegate Trail, established in 1846. I don’t know the exact location, but it generally ran near the routes of Highway 99 and I-5. Then gold was discovered in 1851 at Sailor’s Diggin’s (Waldo). The next year it was also discovered in Jacksonville, so naturally, a road was opened up between the two communities. You will easily recognize the terrain the travelers took. The names of the roads now, as they traveled west from Jacksonville, are: North Applegate, New Hope, Fish Hatchery, Cheney Creek, Mooney Mountain (no longer passable, but still a valid public road), Crooks Creek, Dryden, Lakeshore, Thompson Creek, Bear Creek (BLM road) to about Caves Highway, then cross country where no road now exists, to about the halfway point of Rockydale Road, south to Waldo Road, East on Waldo Road to Waldo. They still had to get the gold out from there, so they went to Lone Mountain Road and over the mountains to Crescent City and the waiting ships. An interesting verification of the date of this road came to me when Glenn Campbell and I surveyed the boundaries of the Murphy stockpile site. I obtained the notes of the original surveyors (Lake and Hyde) from 1855. They had noted the location of New Hope Road at the west boundary of the stockpile site and it was in exactly the same position then as now.

  • Chapter 3 Existing Conditions
    Chapter 3 Existing Conditions An inventory and evaluation of the County’s existing rural transportation system was conducted to identify opportunities and constraints, and to provide the basis for developing short-range improvement recommendations. This rural transportation system includes Merlin, Murphy, Hugo, Sunny Valley, Wolf Creek, several small communities in the Illinois Valley outside of Cave Junction, and other locations. Inventory information was obtained from the 1982 Josephine County Roadway Plan, the 1982 Josephine County Bicycle Master Plan, street data maintained by the County Public Works Department, transit information from Josephine County Transit, highway data maintained by ODOT, and other information from various service providers and facility managers. System inventory and existing operations for the unincorporated area within the Grants Pass and Cave Junction urban areas are addressed in the TSP for these cities. The inventory and analysis of existing transportation system conditions includes: • Existing street characteristics including physical features, traffic control, current traffic operations and safety with primary emphasis on the major and minor collector street systems • Public transit • Other surface transportation such as intercity and dial-a-ride bus service • Air transportation • Pedestrian and bicycle systems • Freight transportation systems including trucking, rail, and pipeline transportation (there is no water-based transportation in Josephine County) Although all transportation system modes are inventoried, the street inventory is the most data intensive. It includes detailed tables and GIS-based maps describing major and minor collector roadway features. Among these features are: number of lanes; surface material; posted speeds; functional classification; facility and shoulder width; on-street parking; intersection traffic control; and pedestrian and bicycle facilities.
