Illinois River Watershed

33139
The Illinois River runs 65 miles long, flowing through the counties of Josephine and Curry in southwest Oregon. It descends from the Rogue River Watershed in the north and is divided into five distinct sub-watersheds as it continues south. Each sub-watershed is characterized by Mediterranean climates, the topography of the Klamath and Costal ranges, and of course human settlement. Most of the land within the Watershed is federally owned and overseen by both the U.S. Department of the Interior and U.S. Department of Agriculture. The Rogue River Siskiyou National Forest and Kalmiopsis Wilderness which contain a rich matrix of mixed-hardwood, conifer, and riparian forest host a variety of ecological communities that provide refuge to numerous wildlife species (BLM, 2003).
