About this map

The Klamath River carves a deep, serpentine path through this 2015 survey of the Northern California wilderness, where the boundary between Redwood National Park and Six Rivers National Forest meets. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent rises including Ah Pah Ridge, Pecwan Ridge, and Starwein Ridge, which separate the myriad drainages flowing toward the Klamath.

A complex network of tributaries such as Blue Creek, Potato Patch Creek, and Ah Pah Creek dissects the landscape, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns of this coastal forest region. Features like Starwein Flat provide rare level ground amidst the steep contours that lead toward S Red Mtn in the northeast. This map documents a strictly protected landscape, focusing on the natural topography and hydrologic systems rather than human infrastructure.
