About this map

The Klamath River carves through the northeast corner of this mountainous region, where the R Lyle Davis Bridge provides a critical crossing. The landscape is defined by the overlap of the Klamath National Forest and Six Rivers National Forest, a terrain of steep drainages and prominent heights like Trail Mountain and Bald Mountain. The road network of the mid-1970s is limited, featuring the prominent G-O Road and several unimproved paths leading to remote outposts.

Evidence of human activity is clustered at primitive sites such as Bark Shanty Camp, Beans Camp, and Hines Camp. These locations, along with a solitary Cem near the river, suggest a history of seasonal occupation or forest management. The presence of Ogaromtoc Lake and several named gulches and ridges like Lightning Ridge illustrates the complex hydrology and geography of this Siskiyou County wilderness.
