No, I had to use the grabby hand to move west from Galice along the roads. Then I centered on Galice and zoomed in, to look at the roads more closely. A lot of zooming in and out and grabby-handing, so not really linkable.
Just start with Roseburg and go down I-5 to Merlin - then over west to Galice.
At first I thought they might have turned off at Riddle, but now I see that road just makes a big circle. I think your Merlin to Galice to Agness is more likely.
Regarding Bear Camp Road (also known as Merlin-Galice Road, Forest Service Road 33); This is NOT a highway and is not a maintained thoroughfare! Although on some maps it may appear to be a more direct route to Gold Beach, it's not a highway in any sense. It's a forest service road, closed in winter, and is mostly one-lane with no fog lines, no guard rails, no shoulder, and plenty of wash-outs, mudslides and potholes. Cell phones don't work in much of that area and after you pass the Agness turnoff, there is nothing but wilderness until you get to the other side of the mountain range at I-5. Flying In? Small aircraft can land at Gold Beach Airport. Otherwise, you'll need to land in Crescent City, Coos Bay or Medford.
James Kim family missing. Could they have taken the infamous Merlin / Galice road ? Update 6 is here and is later info than below
I heard about the missing Kim family [ more recent Kim family missing] over at Techmeme [police information is here], thinking it’s unlikely I could offer any reasonable insight but it appears they were heading from Portland to Gold Beach on the Southern Oregon coast, an area with which I’m very familiar. Online and printed mapping is sometimes problematic here in Southern Oregon and there’s a road that appears on many maps as a “shortcut” to Gold Beach. But in fact in winter it can be treacherous and often closes with snow. It’s the Merlin to Galice to Gold Beach route. Cell phones don’t work in this mountainous remote area along the Rogue River valley and the coast. A few folks have been lost (many more just scared out of their wits in bad weather) along this tricky route through the Siskiyou National Forest.

"No, I had to use the grabby hand to move west from Galice along the roads."
I looked at the aerial view and that road looks frightening, even in good weather. Maybe friends of the Kim's need to call in a psychic with a good track record. (Please don't flame me. I'm just trying to offer a suggestion as a possibility.)
