About this map

Siskiyou National Forest dominates this 2017 survey, revealing the complex drainage systems of the Klamath Mountains in Curry County. The landscape is defined by the N Fork Smith River and its numerous tributaries, including Chrome Cr, Baldface Cr, and Fall Cr. The terrain is characterized by steep elevation changes, punctuated by landmarks such as Biscuit Hill and the geographic depression at Pack Saddle Gulch.

Infrastructure is limited to a few forest service routes, including Nat For Dev Rd 270 and Wimer Rd, which cross the township and range lines of this remote region. The map provides a look at the hydrography of the area, tracing the paths of Biscuit Cr and Hardtack Cr through the interior of the national forest. This detailed representation of the river network and mountain peaks offers a primary source for understanding the modern geography of this corner of Oregon.
